The cerebellum-cerebral cortex loop | Free educational graphic
Graphic of side view of the human brain; a line depicts the flow of information between the cerebellum and the cerebral cortex.
While the cerebral cortex’s role in cognition has long been recognized, the cerebellum’s role has largely been ignored. But these two parts of the brain share an elaborate network of connections. Some 40 million neurons in the cerebral cortex have fiber-like axons extending to the pontine nuclei in the brainstem, an area intimately connected to the cerebellum. Extensive connections go in the other direction, too, from the cerebellum up to the cortex.

Take a deeper dive: Selected scholarly reviews
The Theory and Neuroscience of Cerebellar Cognition, Annual Review of Neuroscience
Converging evidence from clinical observations and experiments in humans and animals suggests that the cerebellum coordinates mental functions in the same way it coordinates movement.
