The first section summarizes the basic anatomy and physiology of the cerebellum and explains how it functions within the brain. The second section focuses on the role of the cerebellum in motor learning. Section three moves logically from motor learning to the cerebellar processes involved in precise, well-timed, and coordinated movement. The final section shifts its focus to explore how the cerebellum impacts language, working memory, and attention as well as emotional and social function. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaken together, \u003ci\u003eThe Cerebellum: Learning Movement, Language, and Social Skills\u003c\/i\u003e gives the reader a practical, general overview of cerebellar function and a deeper understanding of this important region of the brain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990183002341,"sku":"NP9781118125632","price":154.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781118125632.jpg?v=1761786821","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-cerebellum-isbn-9781118125632","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
