The cerebellum is a highly interconnected structure involved in motor coordination and balance as well as cognitive, sensory, autonomic, and emotional functions. Its connectivity relies on complex afferent and efferent white matter pathways linking it with the brainstem, spinal cord, thalamus, cerebral cortex, vestibular system, and limbic-related structures....
No actionable change for current audiology practice; this is a normative neuroimaging reference atlas with no direct audiological intervention or clinical finding.
A high-quality multi-subject cerebellar connectivity atlas could serve as a reference for future research into vestibular disorders, balance rehabilitation, and auditory-cerebellar pathways.
- 01Preprint presents a multi-subject white-matter tractography atlas of human cerebellar connections.
- 02Cerebellar circuits are relevant to balance, motor coordination, and sensory processing.
- 03Atlas is intended as a neuroimaging reference tool for researchers.
- 04No clinical outcomes or patient populations studied.
- 05Indirectly relevant to audiology via vestibular and balance research.
The atlas characterises human cerebellar connections relevant to motor coordination, balance, and sensory and autonomic functions.
