Comparison of Cerebellar Volume Between Subjects with Bilateral Congenital Blindness and Healthy Individuals

Cerebellum is the region of the brain that is related to motor control, physical coordination and balance. Recent studies have also established that it is also associated with cognition and learning (Bauer et al., 2009). Cerebellum regulates motor activity and muscle tonus and prompts cognitive behavior. In addition, it plays a key role in memory and learning in the cerebellar thalamic cortical circuit (Pierson et al., 2002).
