Sensory and Cognitive Functions

1997
New neuroimaging studies provide striking evidence that the cerebellum is intensely and selectively active during sensory and cognitive tasks, even in the absence of explicit or implicit motor behavior. Focal activity is observed in the lateral cerebellar hemispheres during the processing of auditory, visual, cutaneous, spatial, and tactile information,

Functional Neuroimaging of Cognition

Seminars in Neurology, 2000
Neuroimaging has, in many respects, revolutionized the study of behavioral neurology and cognitive neuroscience. Early studies of brain-behavior relationships relied on a precise neurological examination as the basis for hypothesizing the site of brain damage that was responsible for a given behavioral syndrome.
