Although there is increasing recognition that the cerebellum is involved in cognition as well as motor function, the manner in which the cerebellum contributes to cognition is uncertain. One theory that might account for both motor and cognitive contributions of the cerebellum is that the cerebellum is involved in sequencing of relevant events or stimuli. Previous experiments have suggested that disruption of the cerebellum impairs the prediction of the next event in a sequence. The present experiment will examine the impact of cerebellar stimulation on brain activation during the performance of both sequence-demanding and non-sequence-demanding tasks.

Although there is increasing recognition that the cerebellum, which contains half of the brain's neurons, is involved in cognition as well as motor function, the manner in which the cerebellum contributes to cognition is uncertain. The uniform circuitry of the cerebellum and the extensive connectivity of the cerebellum with numerous neocortical regions has suggested to some researchers that there is a common computation that the cerebellum performs for both motor and cognitive functions. The cerebellar sequencing hypothesis posits that the cerebellum acquires sequence information, makes sequence predictions, and detects sequence violations. These functions, executed via a forward model, could underlie cerebellar involvement in both motor and cognitive behavior. In motor control, such predictions can be used to guide limb trajectory without reliance on movement-generated sensory feedback. In cognition, sequencing requirements are prominent in both verbal working memory (VWM) and language acquisition; eg, in VWM, keeping a phone number in mind requires encoding and rehearsing a sequence of digits. In language, words consist of sequences of syllables, and the learning of syllable transition probabilities is an important component of recognizing legal words in a language. Importantly, prominent cerebellar activation has been observed in many functional MRI (fMRI) VWM and language studies. However, the brainstem/cerebellar neural correlates of sequencing in cognition, and the influence of cerebellar sequence predictions on neocortical targets, are poorly understood. In this experiment, studying healthy individuals the investigators will Investigate the cerebellum as a source of sequence prediction and its influence on forebrain areas. The cerebellum is hypothesized to provide its forward model sequence prediction to forebrain targets, but to date no study has attempted to visualize with concurrent TMS/fMRI the consequences of disrupting this cerebellar input on forebrain activation. In the investigators previous work, the investigators show that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) during the rehearsal of a sequence of letters results in errors in determining if a probe letter matches the next letter in the sequence, suggesting that TMS disrupted this predictive input. In accordance with this finding, the investigators hypothesize that, using concurrent TMS/fMRI, TMS disruption during a sequencing task will produce greater changes in neocortical activation relative to an analogous control task that does not have the predictive component brought out by sequencing demands. The investigators further hypothesize that different patterns of neocortical activations in response to cerebellar TMS will be observed depending on whether a probe letter matches the expected next letter in a sequence.

functional magnetic resonance imaging brain activation
기간: during scan up to 1 hour
|
functional magnetic resonance imaging brain activation. For the sequential task, a sequence of letters is presented and the subject is presented with number signs, one at a time, to guide rehearsal of the sequence. At some point a probe letter is presented and the subject indicates by button press if the probe is the next letter in the sequence. For the non-sequential task, subjects do not have a guided rehearsal, and the response to the probe indicates if the probe was one of the letters originally presented. Brain activation in response to the probe will be measured with brain stimulation vs no brain stimulation for each task |

percent correct of behavioral responses. For the sequential task, a sequence of letters is presented and the subject is presented with # signs, one at a time, to guide rehearsal of the sequence. At some point a probe letter is presented and the subject indicates by button press if the probe is the next letter in the sequence. For the non-sequential task, subjects do not have a guided rehearsal, and the response to the probe indicates if the probe was one of the letters originally presented. Behavioral accuracy consists of the percent of correct responses to the probe, with higher numbers indicating better performance |
