Mapping of cerebellar function by functional MRI now enables us not only to re-establish older anatomic findings of somatotopic representations but to gain new insights in the function of the cerebellum and its intimate relations of cerebral regions to serving sensorimotor function, sensory discrimination, and cognitive processing. Consequently, it will change our understanding of neurologic and psychologic failures in patients with inborn errors or neurodegenerative diseases or after neurosurgical procedures.
