Cerebellum & Language

We study cerebro-cerebellar pathways and their roles in language.

Mapping the Cerebellum to the Neural Network of Reading in Bilinguals

Neuroimaging studies have proposed that reading operates via two routes in the cerebral cortex; a sub-lexical dorsal route which maps written letters to corresponding sounds, and a lexical ventral route where corresponding phonological forms are …

Cerebellar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Impairs Visual Working Memory

An increasing body of evidence points to the involvement of the cerebellum in cognition. Specifically, previous studies have shown that the superior and inferior portions of the cerebellum are involved in diferent verbal working memory (WM) …

Individual-fMRI-approaches reveal cerebellum and visual communities to be functionally connected in obsessive compulsive disorder

There is significant interest in understanding the pathophysiology of Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using resting-state fMRI (rsfMRI). Previous studies acknowledge abnormalities within and beyond the fronto-striato-limbic circuit in OCD that …

Cerebro-cerebellar pathways for verbal working memory

Verbal working memory involves holding verbal information in short-term memory. Two cerebro-cerebellar networks for verbal working memory have been proposed: (1) fronto-superior cerebellar network associated with controlling and updating …

Modality specificity in the cerebro-cerebellar neurocircuitry during working memory

Previous studies have suggested cerebro-cerebellar circuitry in working memory. The present fMRI study aims to distinguish differential cerebro-cerebellar activation patterns in verbal and visual working memory, and employs a quantitative analysis to …

Higher Cognition & the Cerebellum

We study cerebro-cerebellar pathways and their roles in higher cognition.

Temporal dynamics of visual working memory

The involvement of the human cerebellum in working memory has been well established in the last decade. However, the cerebro-cerebellar network for visual working memory is not as well defined. Our previous fMRI study showed superior and inferior …
