Cerebellar Structure and Function in Autism Spectrum Disorder. J Psychiatr Brain Sci. 2022;7:e220003. doi:10.20900/jpbs.20220003https://hdl.handle.net/1805/34745Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental condition characterized by early-onset repetitive behaviors, restricted interests, sensory and motor difficulties, and impaired social interactions. Converging evidence from neuroimaging, lesion and postmortem studies, and rodent models suggests cerebellar involvement in ASD and points to promising targets for therapeutic interventions for the disorder. This review elucidates understanding of cerebellar mechanisms in ASD by integrating and contextualizing recent structural and functional cerebellar research.en-USPublisher PolicyAutism spectrum disorderCerebellumCognitionDevelopmentArticle
