“…In addition to phonetic and phonological aspects of verbal communication, the cerebellum appears also to contribute to speech perception at the preceding stage of acoustic processing [46, 47] although textbook displays of the central-auditory pathways do not encompass the cerebellum (e.g., [48]). First, despite uncompromised auditory hearing thresholds, significantly impaired pitch discrimination capabilities could be documented in cerebellar patients—in parallel to the degree of cerebellar ataxia [49].…”

In less than three decades, the concept “cerebellar neurocognition” has evolved from a mere afterthought to an entirely new and multifaceted area of neuroscientific research. A close interplay between three main strands of contemporary neuroscience induced a substantial modification of the traditional view of the cerebellum as a mere coordinator of autonomic and somatic motor functions. Indeed, the wealth of current evidence derived from detailed neuroanatomical investigations, functional neuroimaging studies with healthy subjects and patients and in-depth neuropsychological assessment of patients with cerebellar disorders shows that the cerebellum has a cardinal role to play in affective regulation, cognitive processing, and linguistic function. Although considerable progress has been made in models of cerebellar function, controversy remains regarding the exact role of the “linguistic cerebellum” in a broad variety of nonmotor language processes. This consensus paper brings together a range of different viewpoints and opinions regarding the contribution of the cerebellum to language function. Recent developments and insights in the nonmotor modulatory role of the cerebellum in language and some related disorders will be discussed. The role of the cerebellum in speech and language perception, in motor speech planning including apraxia of speech, in verbal working memory, in phonological and semantic verbal fluency, in syntax processing, in the dynamics of language production, in reading and in writing will be addressed. In addition, the functional topography of the linguistic cerebellum and the contribution of the deep nuclei to linguistic function will be briefly discussed. As such, a framework for debate and discussion will be offered in this consensus paper.

“…According to the specific scientific literature (20,21) , the SNI-ICM test indicates task sensitivity for infratentorial functions. In addition, the correlation between the results of the SSI-ICM (monotic listening) and the functioning of the cerebellum is well known (22) . This functioning was altered in elderly individuals who reported good hearing skills (23) , as well as in adults with auditory processing disorders (24) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Investigar o perfil das habilidades auditivas de fechamento e figura-fundo e fatores relacionados à atenção, comunicação e saúde de controladores de tráfego aéreo (CTA) de aproximação de aeronaves e comparar com os de outros profissionais civis e militares. Método Participaram 60 adultos com limiares audiométricos normais reunidos em dois grupos, pareados por idade e gênero: o grupo estudo formado por 30 profissionais do Controle de Aproximação de aeronaves e o controle, por 30 outros servidores civis e militares. Todos foram submetidos a perguntas relacionadas à atenção, comunicação e saúde e ao Teste de Fala com Ruído e de Identificação de Sentenças Sintéticas em escuta monótica (SSI) para avaliar fechamento e figura-fundo, respectivamente. Foram usados testes estatísticos não paramétricos e análise de regressão logística. Resultados O CTA autorreferiu maior cansaço/esgotamento e estresse e obteve melhor desempenho do que o grupo controle em figura-fundo e semelhante em fechamento. Foi observado que ocorreu uma probabilidade de ser CTA para o estresse em 5,59 vezes e para identificação de sentenças em escuta monótica à orelha direita de 1,24. Conclusão Fechamento e autorrelato de dificuldades de saúde, comunicação e atenção na maioria das questões foram similares em ambos os grupos. Figura-fundo foi significativamente melhor em CTA. Autorreferência de estresse e desempenho à orelha direita no SSI foram preditores significantes do indivíduo ser do CTA.

“…Only one other network exhibited a positive correlation with stimulus timing, namely the CBLL. The involvement of the cerebellum in sensory auditory processing, particularly in the perception of music, has been established by several studies [42][43][44][45]. Although the CBLL exhibited spectral peaks that corresponded to the stimulation frequency and its second harmonic peak in STA, it did not exhibit either during CA.…”
