Abstract
The structure of the cerebellum is examined and the emergent functional organisation deduced. This yields the observation that the cerebellum exhibits two forms of modularity of importance in artificial neural network models. Emphasis is placed on the definition of the individual cerebellar module, on the inhibitory mechanisms which lead to efficient modular action, and on how parallel fibres serve to link together, or coordinate, the activity of different modules.
