The cerebellum has traditionally been seen primarily to coordinatevoluntary movement, but evidence is accumulating that it mayplay a role in cognition and behavior as well. This is a selectivereview of studies assessing potential cognitive deficits andpersonality changes associated with cerebellar disease. Preliminarystudies of the role of the cerebellum in schizophrenia, dementia,and other psychiatric disorders are also discussed. Effortsto understand the neurological substrates of behavior shouldconsider the role of the cerebellum.
