An Active-State Approach to Understanding Cerebellar Function and Cortico-Cerebellar Connectivity
Abstract: The Diedrichsen Lab investigates the human cerebellum, which is engaged in a wide variety of motor and cognitive tasks. However, how each functional region in the cerebellum interacts with its neocortical counterparts and uniquely contributes to function remains unknown. Recent work from the Diedrichsen Lab addresses this question using an active-state approach, employing large batteries of tasks to map functional specialization and patterns of cortico-cerebellar connectivity in single participants. The lab's research focuses on methodological issues and critically compares the use of active-state and resting-state data in mapping brain function.
