Cerebellar Cognition and Learning (CerCL) Lab

The Cerebellar Cognition and Learning (CerCL) Lab investigates the role of the human cerebellum in cognition and cognitive development. Traditionally, the cerebellum has been considered solely a motor structure, but anatomical, clinical and neuroimaging data have advanced our knowledge of human cerebellar function. CerCL studies the functional layout of the cerebellum, the type of processing that it performs, and the impact of cerebellar dysfunction in clinical and developmental conditions. We use multiple methods, including neuroimaging, neuromodulation, lesion-symptom mapping and behavioral studies. Our ultimate goal is to understand the contribution of the cerebellum to cognition in both typical development and in clinical and developmental conditions, and to translate this knowledge into clinical and educational applications.
