在世纪的大部分时间里，脑科学界认为小脑只参与运动控制功能。在过去的20年里，这在很大程度上被小脑参与各种运动和非运动功能的想法所取代，重要的是，小脑可能包含显示长期和短期可塑性的神经元，编码行为和认知功能。作者提出了小脑参与运动和非运动功能的证据，并进一步表明小脑的内部神经结构和与大脑其他区域的连接模式决定了小脑参与的功能范围。为了强调这种结构的交互性质，作者认为，小脑编码的现象可能最好概括为小脑的心理功能，而不是试图将所有功能归类为运动或非运动。
For most of the 20th century, the brain science community held the view that the cerebellum was exclusively involved in motor control functions. Over the past 20 years, this has largely been replaced by the idea that the cerebellum participates in a variety of motor and nonmotor functions and, importantly, may contain neurons that display long- and short-term plasticity, encoding behavioral and cognitive functions. The authors present evidence for the involvement of the cerebellun in motor and nonmotor functions and further suggest that the cerebellum's internal neural architecture and connectivity patterns with other areas of the brain determine the range of functions that the cerebellum participates in. To stress the interactive nature of the structure, the authors suggest that the phenomena that the cerebellum encodes may be best described generally as the psychological functions of the cerebellum instead of attempting to categorize all functions as either motor or nonmotor.
