Several recent investigations support the use of frequency modulation (FM) systems in children with normal hearing and auditory processing or listening disorders such as those diagnosed with auditory processing disorders, autism spectrum disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Friedreich ataxia, and dyslexia.

The Role of the Cerebellum in Cognition Beyond Coordination in the Central Nervous System

The Role of the Cerebellum in Cognition Beyond Coordination in the Central Nervous System; Maryam Noroozian, Volume 32, Issue 4, November 2014, Pages 1081–1104 DOI: 10.1016/j.ncl.2014.07.005

This article reviews in further detail the current understanding of cognitive deficits associated with cerebellar impairments and unravels its modulating role in cognitive and behavioral processes.

Neuro-ophthalmic Manifestations of Cerebellar Disease; Shin C. Beh , Teresa C. Frohman , Elliot M. Frohman; Neurologic Clinics, Volume 32, Issue 4 DOI: 10.1016/j.ncl.2014.07.002

The cerebellum is responsible for refining ocular movements, thereby guaranteeing the best possible visual acuity and clarity despite changes in body or head positions or movement of the object of interest.
