磁共振成像被用来检查小脑齿状核参与认知操作。所有七个人在试图解决钉板难题时，都显示出齿状回的双侧激活。激活的区域比在简单的钉移动期间激活的区域大三到四倍。这些结果为小脑的计算能力不仅用于控制运动，而且用于认知功能的概念提供了支持。
Magnetic resonance imaging was used to examine the involvement of the dentate nucleus of the cerebellum in cognitive operations. All seven people examined displayed a large bilateral activation in the dentate during their attempts to solve a pegboard puzzle. The area activated was three to four times greater than that activated during simple movements of the pegs. These results provide support for the concept that the computational power of the cerebellum is applied not only to the control of movement but also to cognitive functions.
