*Abstract: * The cerebellum is long known for its somatomotor functions.
Recent evidence has converged to suggest that major portions of the human
cerebellum are linked to cognitive and affective functions. In this talk, I
will present new insights into the functional organization of the human
cerebellum. Our findings reveal three distinct somatomotor representations,
including a newly identified third map that is spatially dissociated from
the two well-established body representations. Between these body
representations, a large megacluster extending across Crus I/II was
consistently found with subregions linked to higher-order cerebral
association networks. Within this megacluster, specific regions responded
to domain-flexible cognitive control, while juxtaposed regions
differentially responded to language, social, and spatial/episodic task
demands. Similarly organized clusters also exist in the caudate consistent
with the presence of multiple basal ganglia–cerebellar–cerebral cortical
circuits that maintain functional specialization across their entire
distributed extents.

*About VVTNS : Launched as the World Wide  Theoretical Neuroscience Seminar
(WWTNS) in November 2020 and renamed in homage to Carl van Vreeswijk in
Memoriam (April 20, 2022), Speakers have the occasion to talk about
theoretical aspects of their work which cannot be discussed in a setting
where the majority of the audience consists of experimentalists. The
seminars, **held on Wednesdays at 11 am ET,**  are 45-50 min long followed
by a discussion. The talks are recorded with authorization of the speaker
and are available to everybody on our YouTube channel.*
