Maria Leggio,Laura Mandolesi,Francesca Federico,Francesca Federico,Francesca Spirito,Benedetta Ricci,Francesca Gelfo,Laura Petrosini +7 more
TL;DR: The behavioral effects of environmental complexity on different facets of spatial function are analyzed, and dendritic arborisation and spine density are assessed in a cortical area mainly involved in the spatial learning, as the parietal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A range of different viewpoints and opinions regarding the contribution of the cerebellum to language function are brought together and a framework for debate and discussion will be offered in this consensus paper.

Moulton,Laura Orsi,F Van Overwalle,Christos Papadelis,Benedetto Sacchetti,Dennis J.L.G. Schutter,Charis Styliadis,Jo Verhoeven,Jo Verhoeven +18 more
TL;DR: Results of this consensus paper illustrate how theory and empirical research have converged to produce a composite picture of brain topography, physiology, and function that establishes the role of the cerebellum in many aspects of emotional processing.

TL;DR: This consensus paper summarizes the impressive empirical evidence on this problem and highlights diversities as well as commonalities between existing hypotheses into the influence of the cerebellum on sensory perception.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cerebellum contributes to linguistic production: A case of agrammatic speech following a right cerebellar lesion
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the cerebellum provides the temporal interplay among the neural structures underlying the processes responsible for production of sentences in a patient who developed a right hemicerebellar syndrome and agrammatic speech without other cognitive impairments.
