Resumen

En los últimos años se está asistiendo a un interés creciente por conocer nuevas y alternativas funciones del Cerebelo además de las motoras clásicamente establecidas. Este interés se ve reflejado en la ingente cantidad de trabajos que tanto a nivel experimental como clínico intentan delimitar esas funciones. Mención especial merecen los estudios que intentan comprobar la participación del Cerebelo en funciones superiores y, en particular, en aprendizaje y memoria. La revisión de estas funciones no motoras lleva a plantearse la posibilidad de que el Cerebelo, tal y como su nombre indica, sea realmente "un pequeño cerebro".
