The cerebellum and language: historical perspective and review
Abstract
Investigation of a possible role for the cerebellum in the mediation of cognitive processes, including language, has historically been overshadowed by research interest in cerebellar coordination of motor control. Over the past two decades, however, the question of a possible participation of the cerebellum in language processing itself has come to the forefront. In particular recent advances in our understanding of the neuroanatomy of the cerebellum combined with evidence from functional neuroimaging, neurophysiological and neuropsychological research, have extended our view of the cerebellum from that of a simple coordinator of autonomic and somatic motor function. Rather it is now more widely accepted that the cerebellum, and in particular the right cerebellar hemisphere, participates in modulation of cognitive functioning, especially to those parts of the brain to which it is reciprocally connected. The present paper reviews the neuroanatomical, clinical and functional neuroimaging evidence suggestive of a role for the cerebellum in language processing. The possible neuropathophysiological substrates of language impairment associated with cerebellar pathology are discussed and the nature of the linguistic deficits associated with disease or damage to the cerebellum described.

Word retrieval is accompanied by activation in the right vermal and hemispheric components of lobule VI and Crus I and II of lobule VII in the posterior lateral cerebellum.
“and this was accompanied by activation in the right vermal and hemispheric components of lobule VI and Crus I and II of lobule VII in the posterior lateral cerebellum (Krienen and Buckner, 2009; Murdoch, 2010; Stoodley and Shamahmann, 2009, 2010).”

The cerebellum has a modulatory role in motor functions; during articulation, activity in bilateral superior cerebellar regions may contribute to timing of consonant-vowel syllable production and online sequencing of syllables into larger utterances.
“The cerebellum is thought to have a modulatory role in motor functions (Murdoch et al., 2010) and, during articulation, activity in bilateral superior cerebellar regions may contribute to the timing of consonant–vowel syllable production (Ghosh et al., 2008) and the online sequencing of syllables into fast, smooth and rhythmically organized larger utterances (Ackermann, 2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
