Pitch discrimination in cerebellar patients: evidence for a sensory deficit. (2009, positive): “These ideas have been supported specifically by findings from human functional neuroimaging and neurology, with implications for functional topology (see, e.g., Riva and Giorgi, 2000; Steinlin et al., 2003; Exner et al., 2004; Tavano et al., 2007; Baillieux et al., 2008; Habas et al., 2009).”
Functional topography in the human cerebellum: A meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies (2009, neutral): “Furthermore, consistent with the crossed cerebrocerebellar fiber pathways, linguistic impairments can arise following right cerebellar hemisphere lesions, whereas visual–spatial difficulties may follow left cerebellar hemisphere damage (Fiez et al., 1992; Gottwald et al., 2004; Gross-Tsur et al., 20”
The teen brain: insights from neuroimaging. (2008, background): “However a converging body of evidence from electroencephalography (EEG) studies [8], fMRI studies [9], studies in subjects with vascular and degenerative cerebellar disease [10,11], and histologic studies demonstrating cerebellar connections to dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the medial frontal cort”
“The Biological Effects of Childhood Trauma” (2014, positive): “The cerebellum is a complex posterior brain structure that is involved in cognitive functions [208], decision making, reward circuits [209, 210] and the default mode network that is associated with understanding social intentions [211].”
Consensus Paper: The Cerebellum's Role in Movement and Cognition (2013, background): “Children with cerebellar tumors present deficits known as cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome [55]: lesions of the posterolateral hemispheres may cause cognitive disturbances, while vermis lesions may provoke behavioral and affective alterations [60, 78, 84, 85].”
Structural MRI of Pediatric Brain Development: What Have We Learned and Where Are We Going? (2010, positive): “The function of the cerebellum has traditionally been described as related to motor control, but it is now commonly accepted that the cerebellum is also involved in emotional processing and other higher cognitive functions that mature throughout adolescence (Riva and Giorgi, 2000; Schmahmann, 2004).”
TRIPLE REPRESENTATION OF LANGUAGE, WORKING MEMORY, SOCIAL AND EMOTION PROCESSING IN THE CEREBELLUM: CONVERGENT EVIDENCE FROM TASK AND SEED-BASED RESTING-STATE FMRI ANALYSES IN A SINGLE LARGE COHORT (2018, background): “but also in cognitive and affective functions (Schmahmann, 1991, 1996, 1997; Middleton and Strick, 1994; Schmahmann and Sherman, 1998; Levisohn et al., 2000; Riva and Giorgi, 2000; Ravizza et al., 2006; Schmahmann et al., 2007; Baillieux et al., 2008; Stoodley and Schmahmann, 2009; Thompson and Stei”
The Cerebellum, Sensitive Periods, and Autism (2014, background): “In children ages 6 to 13, posterior fossa damage, particularly to the posterior vermis, has been known to produce cerebellar mutism, a syndrome in which language capacities regress by years, sometimes leading to total loss of the power of speech (Riva and Giorgi, 2000).”
Cerebellum development during childhood and adolescence: a longitudinal morphometric MRI study (2009, background): “For instance, cognition but also emotion regulation are affected in patients with vascular and degenerative cerebellar disease (Schmahmann, 2004; Riva and Giorgi, 2000).”
Evidence for topographic organization in the cerebellum of motor control versus cognitive and affective processing (2010, background): “…the observation that the syndrome results from lesions of the cerebellar posterior lobe has also withstood scrutiny (Levisohn et al., 2000; Neau et al., 2000; Rapoport et al., 2000; Riva and Giorgi, 2000; Steinlin et al., 2003; Exner et al., 2004; Molinari et al., 2004; Schmahmann et al., 2007).”
The developing brain and neural plasticity: Implications for normality, psychopathology, and resilience. (2015, background): “In fact, one published case study reported on a child who, after surgical resection of a cerebellar tumor, exhibited behaviors after the surgery that were highly characteristic of classic symptoms of Autism, such as gaze aversion, social withdrawal, and stereotyped movements (Riva & Giorgi, 2000).”
The neuropsychiatry of the cerebellum — insights from the clinic (2008, background): “Subsequent studies of behavioral aberrations in children following cerebellar tumor resection include descriptions of stereotypies and interpersonal relations that meet criteria for the diagnosis of autism (13), disinhibition, impulsivity and irritability (14), dysphoria, inattention and irritabilit”
