as of higher cognitive processing [58]. Flocculonodular dysplasia appears to be another sign of the mosaic of local developmental defects, most likely predetermined by the spatial patterning of germinal zones in developing rhombic lip [110], and coexisting with more general developmental defects resulting in the accelerated growth of the brain in early childhood [89], minicolumn pathology [13, 14], reduced neuron volume [7, 108, 111], and desynchronized neuronal growth in many brain regions [111] observed in autism.
