Cerebellar BOLD signal during the acquisition of a new lexicon predicts its early consolidation

Highlights • We measured learning of Basque words in the MRI scanner.• A control task involved identification of English synonyms.• The right cerebellum was recruited during the learning of new words.• Cerebellar BOLD response predicted individual improvement after the task.• Our results suggest that the right cerebellum contributes to lexical learning.
