Aims Neuroscience is requesting paper submissions for our April issue. Manuscripts will need to be received by February 28, 2014, and decisions on acceptance will be completed by March 28. Some research has suggested that damage/disease of the cerebellum results in affective/emotional problems. Is there sufficient evidence to support a direct anatomical link? What are the mechanisms by which this can occur? Please add your comments and opinions here.

Dear Robert,
The Cerebellum is closely related to the Reticular Formation (Raphe Nucleus, Locus Coeruleus, GPA...) in a complex system that regulates automatic/unconscious motricity, sensorial informations and basic emotions (especially the rythmic motor patterns, through the Reticulobulbar Tract, the Reticulospinal Tract, the Corticobulbar Tract and the Corticospinal Tract).
Here is a link that may be interest for you :

Maybe the afferent projections of the Raphe Nucleus to the Lateral Septum could be a second step in the anxiety process ?
What are your thoughts ?
Warm regards.
Philippe.
There are now two excellent articles on this question that wee published in the first issue. Please visit the journal to read these articles and comment here as well. The open call for commentaries will soon be issued.
I am pleased to announce the journal just published the third and last paper on the topic. It discusses a unique theory on the cerebellum's role in premenstrual dysphoric mood. We are now soliciting commentaries for all the articles on the cerebellum. Bob
We now have an interesting theoretical commentary posted on the subject.
