The cerebellum is crucial for processing spatial information and learning spatial tasks. This review highlights its role in scanning sensory data for spatial details and acquiring spatial procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Neurobiology

Background:

  • Altered visuospatial abilities are reported in cerebellar pathologies.
  • The cerebellum's importance in spatial processing is experimentally indicated.
  • The precise role of the cerebellum in visuospatial functions remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review experimental and clinical studies on the cerebellum's relation to visuospatial functions.
  • To analyze explorative behavior, visuospatial abilities, and sequential spatial processing.
  • To elucidate the cerebellum's involvement in spatial data processing.

Main Methods:

  • Review of experimental and clinical studies from the authors' group.
  • Analysis of explorative behavior.
