The Effect of Finger-Movement Speed of the Dominant and the Subdominant Hand on Cerebellar Activation: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study

We studied the effects of different speeds of unimanual and bimanual movements on functional magnetic resonance signal changes in the cerebellum. Six healthy consistently right-handed subjects were scanned at rest and while executing a sequential finger-to-thumb-opposition task either unimanually (left or right hand) or bimanually. Movement frequency was paced by an auditory signal at rates of either 1 or 3 Hz. Significant frequency-dependent blood oxygen level-dependent signal increases were demonstrated ipsilaterally and contralaterally in the intermediate and lateral portions of the anterior cerebellum for bimanual movements and for unimanual movements with the subdominant hand. There was only a weak frequency-dependent effect for unimanual movements performed with the dominant hand. In addition, signals were stronger on the right intermediate zone of the anterior cerebellum for movements involving the right (dominant) hand while there was stronger activity on the left cerebellar hemisphere for movements involving the left (subdominant) hand. Taken together, these results suggest that rate and movement task effects on cerebellar activation are differentially sensitive to subdominant and dominant hand movements.
