Abstract

Using a combination of neuroimaging and behavioural studies, Abdelgabar et al. show that the cerebellum helps us perceive the actions of others. Disorders such as spinocerebellar ataxia type 6, which disrupt cerebellar functioning, impair our ability to perceive the kinematics of other people’s actions, with potential implications for social cognition.
