AbstractThe cerebellum, with distinctive architecture and extensive cortical connections, has long been associated with motor control; however, evidence suggests its role extends beyond motor functions, playing a crucial role in cognitive processes. Despite these insights, how cerebellar computations modulate cortical networks remains elusive.

AbstractThe posterior cerebellum is a recently discovered hub of the affective and social brain, with different subsectors contributing to different social functions. However, very little is known about when the posterior cerebellum plays a critical role in social processing. Due to its location and anatomy, it has been difficult to use traditional approaches to directly study the chronometry of the cerebellum.

1. IntroductionThe ability to recognize emotional expressions is critical for survival and plays a pivotal role in successful social interactions. Converging evidence has suggested that the processing of emotional faces triggers the activation of widespread brain regions (for a review, see [1]), including motor areas such as the supplementary motor, premotor, and primary motor cortex [2,3].
