Time-Delays during Processing of Sensory-Motor Events within the Cerebro-Cerebellar Network: An fMRI Study

Introduction: Experiments as well as theoretical models suggest a role of the cerebellum in the control of time-related processes. For the control of movements, models of cerebellar function focus on the prediction of movement sequences based on internal models allowing for faster reaction on new demands. On the other hand, the cerebellum controls ongoing movements online. The aim of this study was to analyze the chronological activation sequence of the cerebro-cerebellar network conducting temporally predictable and non-predictable sensory and motor events. Methods: The measurements were carried out at 1.5 T (S…
