TLDR
The present paper reviews the neuroanatomical, clinical and functional neuroimaging evidence suggestive of a role for the cerebellum in language processing and discusses the possible neuropathophysiological substrates of language impairment associated with cerebellar pathology.

A review and synthesis of the first 20 years of PET and fMRI studies of heard speech, spoken language and reading

TL;DR: An anatomical model is presented that indicates the location of the language areas and the most consistent functions that have been assigned to them and the implications for cognitive models of language processing are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resting functional connectivity of language networks: characterization and reproducibility

TL;DR: This recapitulate this extended network that includes not only adjoining prefrontal, temporal and parietal regions but also bilateral caudate and left putamen/globus pallidus and subthalamic nucleus and shows that the language network has predominance of short-range functional connectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cerebellum: Its role in language and related cognitive and affective functions

TL;DR: The recently acknowledged role of the cerebellum in linguistic and related cognitive and behavioral-affective functions is reviewed and the current hypotheses dealing with the presumed neurobiological mechanisms underlying the linguistic, cognitive and affective modulatory role of this organ are reviewed.

The cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome.

TL;DR: A constellation of deficits is suggestive of disruption of the Cerebellar modulation of neural circuits that link prefrontal, posterior parietal, superior temporal and limbic cortices with the cerebellum, called the 'cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome'.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positron emission tomographic studies of the cortical anatomy of single-word processing

TL;DR: The use of positron emission tomography to measure regional changes in average blood flow during processing of individual auditory and visual words provides support for multiple, parallel routes between localized sensory-specific, phonological, articulatory and semantic-coding areas.

Practice-related Changes in Human Brain Functional Anatomy during Nonmotor Learning

TL;DR: Examination of the functional anatomy of the human brain with positron emission tomography during the naive and practiced performance of a simple verbal response selection task indicates that two distinct circuits can be used forverbal response selection and normal subjects can change the brain circuits used during task performance following less than 15 min of practice.

Anatomical evidence for cerebellar and basal ganglia involvement in higher cognitive function

TL;DR: Retrograde transneuronal transport of herpes simplex virus type 1 was used to identify subcortical neurons that project via the thalamus to area 46 of the primate prefrontal cortex, defining an anatomical substrate for the involvement of basal ganglia and cerebellar output in higher cognitive function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positron emission tomographic studies of the processing of singe words

TL;DR: PET images of blood flow change that were averaged across individuals were used to identify brain areas related to lexical (single-word) processing, and a small number of discrete areas were activated during several task conditions.
