ABSTRACT
Cerebellum serves an important function in diverse domain of motor, cognition control. Cerebellar non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) can provide a better comprehension of cerebellar circuity connecting to primary motor cortex. Cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) activates Purkinje cells, causing increased inhibition of dentato-thalamo-cortical pathway. Assessing cerebellar-brain inhibition is useful for evaluating normal cerebellar functions and for understanding specific pathophysiology. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has the polarity specific effect on cerebellar activity. Both TMS and tDCS can modulate cerebellar functions motor learning, visuomotor adaptation, motor coordination, working memory and other cognitive domains. Further studies are encouraged to accumulate clinical and molecular evidences of neural plasticity induced by cerebellar NIBS. In the near future, cerebellar NIBS would play a crucial role in the field of neurorehabiliation.
