“…Our results further highlight the importance of cerebellar network FC in relation to attention problems, and are in line with recent works that have shown that attention relies on a multitude of regions not traditionally ascribed to the canonical attention networks (Rohr, et al, 2018;Rosenberg, et al, 2016). Indeed, in recent years there has been a surge in studies showcasing the cerebellum's role in attention (Baumann and Mattingley, 2014;Kellermann, et al, 2012;Striemer, et al, 2015). Genetic, animal model, post-mortem and neuroimaging studies, have all reported cerebellar differences between individuals with ADHD and those who are TD (Arime, et al, 2011;Baroni and Castellanos, 2015;Bonvicini, et al, 2016;Chess and Green, 2008;Rubia, et al, 2014;van der Meer, et al, 2016), as well as between TD individuals and those with ASD (for reviews see (Becker and Stoodley, 2013;Crippa, et al, 2016;Stoodley, 2016;Wang, et al, 2014).…”

“…A growing body of literature suggests that in addition to cortico-cortico interactions (Corbetta and Shulman, 2002;Fox, et al, 2006;Rohr, et al, 2017), cortico-cerebellar connectivity may play an important role in attention (Baumann and Mattingley, 2014;Kellermann, et al, 2012;Striemer, et al, 2015). Historically, the human cerebellum has been primarily associated with sensorimotor functions (Heck and Sultan, 2002;Marr, 1969), however, evidence has accumulated regarding its role in working memory, executive functioning, language, emotion and social cognition (Schmahmann, 2010;Stoodley and Schmahmann, 2009;Strick, et al, 2009).…”

Attention traits are a cornerstone to the healthy development of children's performance in the classroom, their interactions with peers, and in predicting future success and problems. The cerebellum is increasingly appreciated as a region involved in complex cognition and behavior, and moreover makes important connections to key brain networks known to support attention: the dorsal attention and default mode networks (DAN; DMN). The cerebellum has also been implicated in childhood disorders affecting attention, namely autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), suggesting that attention networks extending to the cerebellum may be important to consider in relation to attentive traits. Yet, direct investigations into the association between cerebellar FC and attentive traits are lacking. Therefore, in this study we examined attentive traits, assessed using parent reports of ADHD and ASD symptoms, in a community sample of 52 girls aged 4-7 years, i.e. around the time of school entry, and their association with cerebellar connections with the DAN and DMN.We found that cortico-cerebellar functional connectivity (FC) jointly and differentially correlated with attentive traits, through a combination of weaker and stronger FC across anterior and posterior DAN and DMN nodes. These findings suggest that corticocerebellar integration may play an important role in the manifestation of attentive traits.

“…In the current study voluntary covert attention appeared relatively unaffected by cerebellar damage. This result is consistent with earlier work suggesting that the cerebellum may play less of a role in voluntary attention (Oliver Baumann & Mattingley, 2014; Striemer, Chouinard, et al, 2015). In fact, a previous fMRI study from our lab observed greater BOLD activation in the left cerebellum for reflexive (i.e., peripheral cue) compared to voluntary (i.e., central arrow cue) covert attention tasks in healthy adults (Striemer, Chouinard, et al, 2015).…”

2 Cerebellar contributions to spatial and non-spatial attention ABSTRACTThe current study represents the first comprehensive examination of spatial, temporal and sustained attention following cerebellar damage. Results indicated that, compared to controls, cerebellar damage eliminated the onset of inhibition of return (IOR) during the reflexive covert attention task, and reduced the ability to detect successive targets during an attentional blink task.However, cerebellar damage had no effect on voluntary covert attention or the sustained attention to response task (SART). Lesion overlay analysis indicated that impaired performance on IOR and the attentional blink were associated with damage to Crus II and lobule VII (tuber) and VIII (pyramis) of the left posterior cerebellum. Critically, subsequent analyses indicated our results are not due to either general motor impairments or to damage to the deep cerebellar nuclei. Collectively these data demonstrate, for the first time, that the same cerebellar regions are involved in both spatial and temporal visual attention. Furthermore, these data suggest that damage to the cerebellum may induce a form of "attentional dysmetria," such that performance suffers under conditions in which the rapid deployment of attention (either spatial or temporal) is required.

“…Because this effect was in the direction of overreproduction rather than underreproduction of the target intervals, it can also be attributed to the additional effect of the experimental manipulation on switch closure probability. Although participants were instructed not to pay attention to the properties of the RDM stimulus besides its duration (e.g., speed, direction, density), given the close link between attention and the coherence of motion in the highly dynamic RDM stimulus (e.g., Baumann & Mattingley, 2014;Bolandnazar, Lennarz, Mirpour, & Bisley, 2015;Liu, Fuller, & Carrasco, 2006), it is indeed possible that the various levels of coherent motion attracted differential levels of attention paid to the nontemporal properties of the RDM stimulus between encoding and reproduction phases in this experiment. Experiment 3 investigated the potential relationship between the change in the number of eye movements from encoding to reproduction, and the robust behavioral results observed in Experiments 1 and 2 (i.e., reproduced duration).…”

Stimulus properties are known to affect duration judgments. In this study, we tested the effect of motion coherence levels in randomly moving dots on the perceived duration of these stimuli. In Experiments 1 and 2 we tested participants on a temporal reproduction task, using stimuli with varying degrees of motion coherence as the to-be-timed stimuli. Our results in both experiments showed that increasing motion coherence from the encoded (i.e. the first) to the reproduced (i.e. the second) stimulus leads to longer reproduction times. These effects were primarily additive in nature, and their magnitude increased with the difference between the coherence levels in the encoding versus reproduction (decoding) phases. This effect was not mirrored when there was a decrease in motion coherence. Experiment 3 tested if the differential number of exploratory saccadic eye-movements during encoding and reproduction predicted these effects. The behavioral findings of Experiment 1 and 2 were replicated in the third experiment, and the change in the number of eye movements from encoding to reproduction predicted the reproduction time when there was an increase in motion coherence. These results are explained by the effect of attention on the latency to initiate temporal integration that is only manifested when there is an increase in the level of motion coherence.
