小脑长期以来一直是科学研究的对象，但它在非运动功能中的作用直到最近才开始受到认真考虑。尽管越来越多的文献将小脑与人类的非运动/认知功能联系起来，但关于小脑在这些过程中的作用仍然存在一些争议。我们提出了一个病人谁开发了特定的语言处理和文字记忆缺陷和情绪变化的情况下，正常的智力以下的双侧小脑缺血性中风。尽管有多个局限性小脑病变，该患者没有明显的运动问题，11月有前脑局灶性病变的放射学证据，其认知和情绪影响可能归因于此。小脑在认知中的作用和小脑相关的认知/情感功能障碍的相关性进行了讨论，以实践的临床医生。(C)1999年由Elsevier Science Ltd.出版的国家神经心理学学会。
The cerebellum has long been the subject of scientific investigation, but its role in nonmotor functions has only recently begun to receive serious consideration. Despite the growing literature linking the cerebellum to nonmotor/cognitive functions in humans, some controversy remains concerning the cerebellum's role in these processes. We present a patient who developed both specific language processing and verbal memory deficits and emotional changes in the context of normal intelligence following a bilateral cerebellar ischemic stroke. Despite having multiple localized cerebellar lesions, this patient had no significant motor problems, nov was there radiological evidence of focal forebrain lesions to which the cognitive and emotional effects might be attributed. The role of the cerebellum in cognition and the relevance of cerebellum-associated cognitive/emotional dysfunction to the practicing clinician are discussed.
