The cerebellum traditionally has been viewed as a neural device dedicated to motor control. Although recent evidence shows that it is involved in nonmotor operations as well, an important question is whether this involvement is independent of motor control and motor guidance. Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to demonstrate that attention and motor performance independently activate distinct cerebellar regions. These findings support a broader concept of cerebellar function, in which the cerebellum is involved in diverse cognitive and noncognitive neurobehavioral systems, including the attention and motor systems, in order to anticipate imminent information acquisition, analysis, or action.
传统上，小脑被视为一种专门用于运动控制的神经装置。尽管最近的证据表明它也参与非运动操作，但一个重要的问题是，这种参与是否独立于运动控制和运动引导。功能磁共振成像被用于证明注意力和运动表现会独立激活不同的小脑区域。这些发现支持了一个更广泛的小脑功能概念，即小脑参与各种认知和非认知神经行为系统，包括注意力和运动系统，以便预测即将到来的信息获取、分析或行动。
