The Cerebellum: From Embryology to Diagnostic Investigations, Volume 154 is designed to update the reader on the latest and clinically relevant advances in the study of cerebellar diseases in children and adults. It is organized into sections detailing: (1) Embryology, Anatomy and Function, and (2) Diagnostic investigations: Neuroimaging, and includes content on conventional sequences, diffusion tensor imaging, functional MRI, and connectivity studies. Its companion volume, The Cerebellum: Disorders and Treatment, describes disorders (starting from the fetal cerebellum, to adult cerebellum) encountered during daily practice and therapy (including insights into innovative drug and rehabilitative approaches to treat children and adults with cerebellar disorders).
- Provides an in-depth understanding of the cerebellum and its involvement in a wide variety of diseases
- Explores the long-term outcome data of pediatric cerebellar diseases and potential problems in adult life for patients with pediatric cerebellar diseases
- Features chapters co-authored by two experts, combining expertise in both pediatric and adult cerebellar diseases
Basic and clinical researchers in neuroscience; fellows, residents, and practicing clinicians in neurology, pediatric neurology, neuropathology, and movement disorders

In addition he was the Director of the Division of Pediatric Radiology, Director and founder of the Division of Pediatric Neuroradiology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and Co-Director of the Neurointensive Care Nursery (NICN), the Johns Hopkins Fetal Program and the Center for Translational and Molecular Imaging (CTMI). Prior to his tenure at Johns Hopkins he was the Chairman and Radiologist-in-Chief of the Department of Diagnostic Imaging at the University Children’s Hospital Zurich. He graduated cum laude from Medical School at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, before completing residencies in Radiology and Pediatrics and fellowships in Pediatric Radiology and Neuroradiology at the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland. Dr. Huisman enjoyed a 2.5 years research sabbatical at the Massachusetts General Hospital NMR center, Harvard Medical School in Boston. His primary field of expertise and research focuses on advanced, quantitative, precision imaging in the field of Neuroradiology. He has given more than 470 national and international invited lectures, published 410 articles and 31 reviews, 67 book chapters, 6 text books, serves on multiple scientific committees of the various radiological societies and has organized multiple national and international meetings in Europe and the USA. He has been one of the founding members of the Swiss Symposium in Pediatric Neuroradiology and the Neurointensive Care Nursery at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Huisman served as a faculty member of the AIRP course in Washington, DC (2013-2019), and is a course advisor for the IDKD course in Davos, Switzerland since 2012. Furthermore he has built several patient and family focused multidisciplinary programs and is actively involved in mentorship programs. He is a reviewer for multiple scientific journals and is an editorial member of 5 journals. He served as president of the American Society of Pediatric Neuroradiology (2014/15) and the Eastern Neuroradiological Society (ENRS) (2020/2021), is a Fellow of the International Cancer Imaging Society, Fellow of the American College of Radiology and is an elected President of the International Cancer Imaging Society. Finally, he is a senior editor of the American Journal of Neuroradiology.
