Learning Objectives

• Describe the role of the cerebellum in supporting cognitive and social functions in health and neurological diseases.
• Recognize how cerebellar lesions and atrophy affect distributed cerebral networks and contribute to cognitive impairment in clinical populations, particularly those with neurodegenerative disorders, using advanced neuroimaging and network-based analytical approaches.
• Identify how network-level models of cerebellar-cerebral interactions may inform future diagnostics and interventions in dementia.
