Abstract
Essential tremor is a chronic neurological syndrome of heterogenous clinical phenotypes and multiple etiologies. Numerous studies have been done in order to investigate the pathological, neuroimaging, physiological, and clinical features of essential tremor; however, a clear pathophysiological mechanism has not been identified. One of the brain structures has been extensively investigated at the macroscopic and the microscopic level in the cerebellum. In the present study, we aim to discuss the main neuroimaging and neuropathological changes of the cerebellum in essential tremor.
