Unlocking the Mystery: How Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Affects Cerebellar Metabolism

Imagine the brain is like a complex puzzle, with each piece playing a vital role in our movement and coordination. In a recent study, scientists delved into the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on cerebellar metabolism in patients with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 (SCA3), an inherited disorder that affects movement control. Like a […]

Abstract task representations for inference and control

Just as different languages have their own unique grammatical structures and vocabulary, our brains have distinct networks for representing abstract task information. Recent research has uncovered two separate networks involved in this process: a frontoparietal cortical network and a network including the medial temporal lobe (MTL), medial prefrontal cortex, and orbitofrontal cortex (OMPFC). These networks […]
