The Role of Cerebellar Volume in Cognition in the General Elderly Population.

CONCLUSIONS:: We only found a minor relationship between larger cerebellar volume and better cognition in healthy older adults, which further attenuated after correcting for cerebral volume. Our findings support the notion that cerebellar volume has an influence on cognition in aging, but that it is not the major leading structure. PMID: 24577204 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
