•C-tDCS was used to assess cerebellar role in prism adaptation procedure.•Stimulation impaired adaptation to prisms and recovery from after-effect.•The cerebellum is involved in recalibration process and in spatial realignment. The aim of this study is to clarify the specific role of the cerebellum...
