Precise control of grasping when manipulating objects depends on intact function of the cerebellum. Given its stereotyped cytoarchitecture, the widespread connections with cortical and subcortical sensorimotor structures and the neural activity of cerebellar Purkinje cells during sensorimotor tasks, the cerebellum is considered to play a major role in the establishment and maintenance of sensorimotor representations related to grasping. Such representations are necessary to predict the consequences of movements. This chapter summarizes anatomical and theoretical aspects, electrophysiological and behavioral data characterizing the cerebellum, a key player in the processing of healthy grasping and in its dysfunction.The anatomy of the cerebel...
