The application and progress of cerebellar reserve
The cerebellum,as one of the most explored structures in the neurological field,has received extensive attention from neuroscience researchers in recent years.Previous studies have suggested that the cerebellum mainly plays a coordinating role in motor control,but increasing evidence suggests that the cerebellum is a neglected brain region that regulates cognition and it is involved in the integration and regulation of cognitive networks.Damage to the cerebellum triggers cognitive deficits and further impairs the connectivity efficiency and information integration of the brain's cognitive-related networks.When the cerebellum is affected by disease,it is able to recover its original function through its own plasticity and adaptability.This suggests that the cerebellum is capable of self-compensation and recovery.This unique cerebellar ability is called cerebellar reserve.This research aims to review the cerebellar reserve's mechanism and application to open up new treatment options for brain disorders.
