About the journal
The Cerebellum is devoted to the science of the cerebellum and its role in ataxia and other disorders. This region, with more neurons than all other brain structures, attracts intense interest: in the genetics of cerebellar ataxias, in the roles of the cerebellum in motor control and cognitive function, and amid an ageing population, in diseases associated with cerebellar dysfunction.
The Cerebellum is a central source for the latest developments in a growing field. Coverage spans fundamental neurosciences including molecular and cellular biology; behavioural neurosciences and neurochemistry; genetics; fundamental and clinical neurophysiology; neurology and neuropathology; cognition and neuroimaging.
The official publication of the Society for Research on the Cerebellum, the journal benefits neuroscientists in molecular and cellular biology; neurophysiologists; researchers in neurotransmission; neurologists; radiologists; paediatricians; neuropsychologists; students of neurology and psychiatry and others.

Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities ?tacitly or explicitly ?at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation. Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
Preparation of manuscripts
Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced preferably in Word, or another PC-compatible format. Any special points should be emphasized in the covering letter. The number of heading levels used should be kept to a maximum of three. Papers describing original research should be arranged as follows:1. Title page (including correspondence address)2. Structured Abstract (maximum 150 words)3. Keywords (maximum 6) taken from Index Medicus4. Introduction5. Materials (or patients) and methods6. Results7. Discussion8. Conclusion or summary9. Acknowledgements10. References (see below)11. Tables (with captions)12. Figures (with captions)The Title page should include:?The name(s) of the author(s)?A concise and informative title?The affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s)?The e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding authorThe Abstract should not exceed 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.Please provide 4 to 6 Keywords which can be used for indexing purposes.The Introduction should assume that the reader is knowledgeable in the field and should, therefore, be as brief as possible. In the Materials and methods section, methods that have been published in detail elsewhere should not be described in detail.Abbreviations and symbols used should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter. Abbreviations must be standard and SI units used throughout. Acronyms should be used sparingly and must be fully explained when first used. Generic names of drugs and pesticides are preferred; if trade names are used, the generic name should be given at first mention. Statistical analyses must explain the methods used.Text FormattingFor submission in Word:?Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 10-point Times Roman) for text.?Use italics for emphasis.?Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.?Do not use field functions.?Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.?Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables.?Use the equation editor or MathType for equations. Note: If you use Word 2007, do not create the equations with the default equation editor but use MathType instead.?Save your file in two formats: doc and rtf. Do not submit docx files.
References
The list of References should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.References should follow the Vancouver format. At the end of the paper they should be listed (doublespaced) in numerical order corresponding to the order of citation in the text. All authors should be quoted for papers with up to six authors; for papers with more than six authors, list the first six followed by ‘et al? Articles that have been accepted for publication but not yet published should be listed as ‘in press? Examples:Journal articleSmith JJ. The world of science. Am J Sci 1999;36:234?.

The cost for reproducing color in the print version is $1150 per article, charged to the author/institution. If color is necessary and funding is unavailable, please contact the Editor.?For formatting requirements, please see “Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations?below.
Electronic Supplementary Material
If Electronic supplementary material (ESM) is submitted, it will be published as received from the author in the online version only. ESM may consist of:?information that cannot be printed: animations, video clips, sound recordings?information that is more convenient in electronic form: sequences, spectral data, etc.?large original data, e.g. additional tables, illustrations, etc.?If supplying any ESM, the text must make specific mention of the material as a citation, similar to that of figures and tables (e.g., ? . . as shown in Animation 3.?.
Proofreading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Print
General Send illustrations separately from the text (i.e. files should not be integrated with the text files). Always send printouts of all illustrations. Vector (line) Graphics Vector graphics exported from a drawing program should be stored in EPS format. Suitable drawing program: Adobe Illustrator. For simple line art the following drawing programs are also acceptable: Corel Draw, Freehand, Canvas. ?No rules narrower than .25 pt. ?No gray screens paler than 15% or darker than 60%. ?Screens meant to be differentiated from one another must differ by at least 15%. Spreadsheet/Presentation Graphics ?Most presentation programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Freelance) produce data that cannot be stored in an EPS format. Therefore graphics produced by these programs cannot be used for print. Halftone Illustrations ?Black and white and color illustrations should be saved in TIFF format. Illustrations should be created using Adobe Photoshop whenever possible. Scans* ?Scanned reproductions of black and white photographs should be provided as 300 ppi TIFF files. ?Scanned color illustrations should be provided as TIFF files scanned at a minimum of 300 ppi with a 24-bit color depth. Line art should be provided as TIFF files at 600 ppi. ?*We do prefer having the original art as our printers have drum scanners which allow for better reproduction of critical medical halftones. Upon acceptance of a manuscript, please be ready to provide original hard copies if electronic files are unavailable. Graphics from Videos ?Separate files should be prepared for frames from a video that are to be printed in the journal. When preparing these files you should follow the same rules as listed under Halftone Illustrations.
Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for ONLINE
Video ?MPEG (.mpg) is the preferred format, but .rm, .avi, .mov, etc. are acceptable. ?No video file should be larger than 2MB. To decrease the size of your file, consider changing one or more of the following variables: frame speed, number of colors/greys, viewing size (in pixels), or compression. Video is subject to Editorial review and approval.
Copyright Transfer
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.

This is the official first publication citable with the DOI. After release of the printed version, the paper can also be cited by issue and page numbers.
Open Choice
In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription-based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springer’s online platform SpringerLink. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles.
