The cerebellum of mammals is histologically uniform, but it varies greatly in the relative size of its different parts. The Dutch anatomist Lodewijk Bolk studied a large series of mammalian cerebella, and put forward a general scheme of organization that can be applied to all mammals. Bolk also speculated about the functional role of different regions of the cerebellum, based on the idea that there might be a single somatotopically organized representation of the body surface on the cerebellar cortex. Although his idea of a single map is wrong, Bolk's anatomical descriptions are thorough, and his insights are profound. These descriptions formed the basis for much subsequent thinking about the structure of the cerebellum.
哺乳动物的小脑在组织学上是均匀一致的，但其不同部分的相对大小差异很大。荷兰解剖学家洛德维克·博尔克研究了大量哺乳动物的小脑，并提出了一个可应用于所有哺乳动物的总体组织结构图式。博尔克还基于小脑皮质可能存在体表单一的躯体定位组织表征这一观点，推测了小脑不同区域的功能作用。尽管他关于单一图谱的观点是错误的，但博尔克的解剖学描述很详尽，且他的见解很深刻。这些描述为后来许多关于小脑结构的思考奠定了基础。
