Abstract

Literature sources devoted to the role of the cerebellum in epileptic activity of the brain and psychoemotional activity were analyzed. On the basis of clinical and experimental data the role of different cerebellum structures in organizing epileptic and emotiogenic/antiemotiogenic brain systems was shown. Some pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapy possibilities were analyzed on the basis of targeted modification of the functional state of physiological brain systems/antisystems.
