These findings yield insights into the structural connectivity of the cerebellum as relates to the uniquely human process of language comprehension. The outer portion contains neurons, and the inner area communicates with the cerebral cortex. Like the cerebral cortex, it has two hemispheres. We found that (a) working memory, motor activity, and language comprehension activated partially overlapping but mostly unique subregions of the cerebellum (b) the linguistic portion of the cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit was more extensive than the linguistic portion of the cortico-ponto-cerebellar tract (c) there was a frontal-lobe bias in the connectivity from the cerebellum to the cerebrum (d) there was some degree of specificity and (e) for some cerebellar tracts, individual differences in picture identification ability covaried with fractional anisotropy metrics. The cerebellum (little brain) is a fist-sized portion of the brain located at the back of the head, below the temporal and occipital lobes and above the brainstem. (LGG) that are located in eloquent brain areas remains a. Functional imaging data and diffusion-weighted imaging data from the Human Connectome Project (HCP) were analyzed. the tumour growth in eloquent regions immediately after surgery, the occurrence of a deficit. Preoperative functional neuroimaging and. Areas of the brain that control speech, motor functions, and sensory processing. The goal of this study was to identify language-sensitive regions of the cerebellum then map the structural connectivity profile of these regions. Localization of brain function is a fundamental requisite for the resection of eloquent-area brain tumors. Neurobiological models of receptive language have focused on the left-hemisphere perisylvian cortex with the assumption that the cerebellum supports peri-linguistic cognitive processes such as verbal working memory.
