The cerebellum, also known as the <em>little brain</em>, is an extremely important region of the brain as it <u>controls voluntary movements such as balance and the correct maintenance of posture. Plus, it is also associated with speech.</u>
Recent research has demonstrated that abnormalities on the function of the cerebellum could be associated with autism and cognitive deficits. Numerous studies have shown an abnormal function in several patients with ASD.
