Abstract

Convergent data from various scientific approaches strongly implicate cerebellar systems in nonmotor functions. The functional anatomy of these systems has been pieced together from disparate sources, such as animal studies, lesion studies in humans, and structural and functional imaging studies in humans. To better define this distinct functional anatomy, in the current study we delineate the role of the cerebellum in several nonmotor systems simultaneously and in the same subjects using resting state functional connectivity MRI. Independent component analysis was applied to resting state data from two independent datasets to identify common cerebellar contributions to several previously identified intrinsic connectivity networks (ICNs) involved in executive control, episodic memory/self-reflection, salience detection, and sensorimotor function. We found distinct cerebellar contributions to each of these ICNs. The neocerebellum participates in (1) the right and left executive control networks (especially crus I and II), (2) the salience network (lobule VI), and (3) the default-mode network (lobule IX). Little to no overlap was detected between these cerebellar regions and the sensorimotor cerebellum (lobules V-VI). Clusters were also located in pontine and dentate nuclei, prominent points of convergence for cerebellar input and output, respectively. The results suggest that the most phylogenetically recent part of the cerebellum, particularly crus I and II, make contributions to parallel cortico-cerebellar loops involved in executive control, salience detection, and episodic memory/self-reflection. The largest portions of the neocerebellum take part in the executive control network implicated in higher cognitive functions such as working memory.

  • Most of the cerebellum is associated with non-motor or cognitive functions.

    “mounting evidence indicates that most of the cerebellum is associated with non-motor or cognitive functions (see Buckner et al., 2011; Habas et al., 2009; O'Reilly et al., 2010; Schmahmann, 2010; Schmahmann and Sherman, 1998).”

    From Postural sway and regional cerebellar volume in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (2015) · cites this paper as Habas et al., 2009

    The Introduction and Discussion support a substantial non-motor role for the cerebellum, particularly its neocerebellar regions involved in cognitive networks. They do not establish that *most of the entire cerebellum* is associated with non-motor or cognitive functions; the Discussion’s reference to the “major part” is limited to the neocerebellum. (LLM, conf=0.85)

  • Separate cerebellar regions are connected with different cerebral areas to form multiple cognitive circuits with topographic functions.

    “Current evidence suggests that separate cerebellar regions are connected with different cerebral areas to form multiple cognitive circuits with topographic functions (15, 16).”

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.
