There is compelling evidence that the human cerebellum is engaged in a wide array of motor and cognitive tasks. A fundamental question centers on whether the cerebellum is organized into distinct functional subregions. To address this question, we employed a rich task battery designed to tap into a broad range of cognitive processes. During four functional MRI sessions, participants performed a battery of 26 diverse tasks comprising 47 unique conditions. Using the data from this multi-domain task battery, we derived a comprehensive functional parcellation of the cerebellar cortex and evaluated it by predicting functional boundaries in a novel set of tasks. The new parcellation successfully identified distinct functional subregions, providing significant improvements over existing parcellations derived from task-free data. Lobular boundaries, commonly used to summarize functional data, did not coincide with functional subdivisions. The new parcellation provides a functional atlas to guide future neuroimaging studies.
有确凿的证据表明,人类小脑参与了广泛的运动和认知任务。一个核心问题是小脑是否组织成不同的功能分区。为了解决这个问题,我们采用了一种丰富的任务组合,旨在深入挖掘广泛的认知过程。在四次功能磁共振成像(fMRI)实验中,参与者完成了一个由 26 个不同任务组成的任务组合,涵盖了 47 个独特的条件。利用来自这个多领域任务组合的数据,我们得出了小脑皮层的全面功能分区,并通过预测新的一组任务中的功能边界来对其进行评估。新的分区成功地识别了不同的功能分区,与基于无任务数据得出的现有分区相比有显著改进。通常用于总结功能数据的叶状边界与功能细分并不重合。新的分区提供了一个功能图谱,以指导未来的神经影像学研究。
