Abstract

Several positron emission tomography (PET) studies suggest a contribution of the lateral aspects of the right cerebellar hemisphere to higher-level (cognitive) aspects of speech production such as controlled verbal response selection. As an alternative, however, 'inner speech', giving rise to subliminal activity of orofacial and laryngeal muscles, might account for the observed activation effects. Eighteen subjects underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during continuous silent recitation of the names of the months of the year ('automatic speech'). The right cerebellar hemisphere showed a significantly increased hemodynamic response concomitant with, among others, an asymmetric activation pattern towards the left side at the level of the motor strip. Since highly overlearned word strings, presumably, pose few demands on controlled response selection and since the projections of the right cerebellar hemisphere to the left precentral gyrus participate in motor control, the observed cerebellar activation, thus, seems to be related to the articulatory level of speech production rather than, as suggested by previous PET studies, to cognitive operations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
