In this paper the main anatomico-functional data concerning the cerebellum are presented. The numerous hypotheses put forward on the functions of the cerebellum, such as they are listed in introduction, illustrate both the advances achieved and the problems awaiting to be solved. Following a general view of phylogenesis, the peculiar characteristics of the cerebellar cortex structure are emphasized; they include, notably, the properties of the olivo-cerebellar system, which is a source of climbing fibres and the organization into microzones, which constitutes the basic elements of the cerebellum. Finally, two aspects of functional organization are treated: the definition of three types of cerebellum (vestibular, somaesthetic and visual) based on the sensorial afferent pathways and the definition of efferent functional subsets based on sagittal bands identified in the vermis, the intermediate area and the hemispheric portion.
本文介绍了有关小脑的主要解剖功能数据。引言中列出的关于小脑功能的众多假设，既说明了已取得的进展，也表明了有待解决的问题。在对系统发育进行总体概述之后，着重强调了小脑皮质结构的独特特征；其中特别包括橄榄小脑系统的特性，它是攀爬纤维的来源，以及组织成微区，这构成了小脑的基本要素。最后，探讨了功能组织的两个方面：基于感觉传入途径对三种类型小脑（前庭小脑、躯体感觉小脑和视觉小脑）的定义，以及基于在蚓部、中间区和半球部分中识别出的矢状带对传出功能亚群的定义。
