Graph theory based approaches applied to diffusion weighted MRI data have been used for understanding cerebral processing at whole-brain scale. Nevertheless, a few studies have considered including the connectivity with the cerebellum. In this work, the cerebellar role in the whole-brain connectomic was investigated by combining automatic tools and a priori information about cerebellar connections. We assert that it is important to incorporate the knowledge that cerebro-cerebellar connections are all contralateral. Moreover, our findings demonstrate that network topology is highly influenced by the presence or the absence of the cerebellum suggesting that it plays a key role in brain processing.
