Re-evaluating circuit mechanisms underlying pattern separation (2019, positive): “This hypothesis is consistent with functional evidence of the cerebellum’s involvement in sensory discrimination (Gao et al., 1996; Parsons et al., 1997; Parsons et al., 2009), but most eyeblink conditioning studies have used a single sensory cue.”
Multimodal sensory integration in single cerebellar granule cells in vivo (2015, background): “The midbrain and cerebral association cortex (Stein and Stanford, 2008), and the cerebellum receive and process sensory signals of various modalities (Snider and Stowell, 1944; Azizi and Woodward, 1990; Gao et al., 1996; Sobel et al., 1998).”
Functional topography in the human cerebellum: A meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies (2009, unknown): “, timing [Ivry and Keele, 1989], building internal models [Ito, 2005], anticipation and prediction [Courchesne and Allen, 1997], sensory processing [Gao et al., 1996; Bower, 1997], motor learning [Doyon, 1997]) were not included in the meta-analysis.”
What are the computations of the cerebellum, the basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex? (1999, background): “Such model-based estimation of the external state is useful not only for motor execution, but also for sensory acquisition that involves a comparison of actual and expected sensory outcome, for example, somatosensory object recognition (Gao et al., 1996) and judgment of precise timing (Ivry, 1996).”
A spatially unbiased atlas template of the human cerebellum (2006, background): “With the advent of neuroimaging, it has also become apparent that parts of the cerebellum are involved in sensory (Gao et al., 1996), and cognitive processes (Courchesne and Allen, 1997).”
Distinct and overlapping functional zones in the cerebellum defined by resting state functional connectivity. (2010, background): “Thus, in terms of the tissue lost in lesions of the posterior cerebellum in human patients, motor representations in Lobule HVIII would be a relatively minor component.”
Cerebellar Projections to the Prefrontal Cortex of the Primate (2001, background): “Thus, dentate activation was not simply related to movement per se (see also Gao et al., 1996 ).”
Functional Topography of the Cerebellum in Verbal Working Memory (2010, background): “The importance of the cerebellum in sensory acquisition and discrimination has been emphasized in several studies, and left cerebellar hemisphere activations pertaining to sensory discrimination have been reported (Belin et al. 1998, 2002; Bower 1997; Gao et al. 1996; Holcomb et al. 1998; Parsons et”
Functional properties of brain areas associated with motor execution and imagery. (2003, background): “The sensory information processing for feedback motor control partly explains movement-predominant activity in the anteromedial cerebellar hemisphere and vermis (Gao et al. 1996).”
Age of acquisition: its neural and computational mechanisms. (2007, result): “Recent neuroimaging research has shown that the basal ganglia plays an important role in cognitive and linguistic functions, including sensory acquisition and discrimination (Gao et al., 1996), lexical decision (Li, Jin, & Tan, 2004), and sequencing of articulatory activities.”
Motor imagery. (2006, background): “The anterior cerebellar hemisphere is predominantly active during sensorimotor exploration movements (Gao et al., 1996) and receives sensory information via the spinocerebellar tract (closely connected via the dorsal nucleus dentatus to cM1 and the contralateral somatosensory cortex; cS1).”
The integrated response of the human cerebro-cerebellar and limbic systems to acupuncture stimulation at ST 36 as evidenced by fMRI (2005, result): “The activation of the dentate nucleus of the cerebellum by tactile stimulation was in agreement with reports that the deep cerebellar nuclei were activated by sensory stimulation in the absence of any motor task (Gao et al., 1996).”
The neural correlates and functional integration of cognitive control in a Stroop task (2005, background): “Our data suggest that frontal cognitive control regions modulate activity in the cerebellum in the course of conflict adaptation, perhaps in the pursuit of fine-tuning the acquisition and discrimination of sensory information (Gao et al., 1996).”
