Since the beginning of this centuxy it has been documented that cerebellar lesions induce speech ddicits but these were thought to result from lack of motor coordination in the muscular activity needed for phonation. The pure motor nature of the cerebeliurn has been challenged on different grounds, and cerebellar activation has been documented in languagerelated tasks independently from motor activity. This chapter reviews the available evidence in fivor of a cerebellar conmbution to linguistic processing, focusing mady on clinii obsemtions in patients. The clinical finding are discussed in the light of recent theones on cerebellar functions.

Abstract
Since the beginning of this centuxy it has been documented that cerebellar lesions induce speech ddicits but these were thought to result from lack of motor coordination in the muscular activity needed for phonation. The pure motor nature of the cerebeliurn has been challenged on different grounds, and cerebellar activation has been documented in languagerelated tasks independently from motor activity. This chapter reviews the available evidence in fivor of a cerebellar conmbution to linguistic processing, focusing mady on clinii obsemtions in patients. The clinical finding are discussed in the light of recent theones on cerebellar functions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
