The Auditory Cerebellum: Function and Dysfunction (Original PDF from Publisher)

By Jos J. Eggermont PhD
The Auditory Cerebellum: Function and Dysfunction focuses on the sensory and cognitive aspects of the cerebellum, with an emphasis on hearing, speech, music, speaking, and singing. This book fills the gap for information needed in audiology and auditory neuroscience, tinnitus, and developmental disorders with a strong auditory component. This book starts with a general overview on the connectivity between the cerebellum and auditory subcortical and cortical areas, including general cortical networks. There are several chapters devoted to the timing aspects of the cerebellum underlying speech and music perception as well as motor aspects in speaking and singing.Also discussed is the role of the cerebellum in hearing impairment, tinnitus, developmental disorders with a strong auditory component, including dyslexia, autism, attention deficit, and hyperactivity disorder. Dr. Jos Eggermont, a leading researcher in the field, uses a systems analysis approach that covers electrophysiology and neural imaging, both in animals and humans.

• Discusses the modulating role of the cerebellum in auditory perception, particularly in speech, music, and related disorders
• Reviews how developmental disorders show topographical differences in the cerebellum versus in neocortex
• Examines studies on the role of the cerebellum in hearing impairment and tinnitus
