[The contribution of the cerebellum to cognitive function in childhood].
BACKGROUND
Cerebellum traditionally has been considered as a neural structure dedicated to motor control. Published studies in the last decades suggest that the cerebellum has an important role in behaviour and cognition specially in paediatric age.


OBJECTIVE
We review the cerebellum role in cognitive function in developmental and acquired cerebellar pathology.
