2-5. Summary

Morphological studies revealed evolution-related structural-functional maps of the cerebellum, and lesion studies established the specific involvement of the cerebellum in the learning of precise movements. These studies laid a firm foundation for the modern approach to the cerebellum, which focuses on neuronal circuits that are discussed in later chapters.
