Abstract

The authors describe three patients hospitalized for psychiatric disorders, all of whom had cerebellar lesions. Referring to recent research on nonmotor cerebellar functions, the authors suggest that patients with cerebellar lesions may develop an organic brain syndrome that closely resembles the organic brain syndrome associated with cerebral cortical lesions.
