Özet

Objective: Although it is well documented that the cerebellum plays a role in motor imagery (MI), its exact role in MI is still obscure. Since motor imagery and execution of movement share common pathways, and the cerebellum has an inhibitory effect on the motor cortex, we speculated that the cerebellum also has an inhibitory role on MI.
