The specific-to-nonspecific binding ratios were calculated as follows: (Binding in hypothalamus − Nonspecific binding in the cerebellar cortex) / Nonspecific binding in the cerebellar cortex [34, 35].
A reference region was manually defined on the cerebellar cortex of coregistered magnetic resonance images.
Activity in the cerebellar cortex (excluding the vermis) was assumed to represent nonspecific binding.
Cooling the cerebellar cortex produced conditioned taste avoidance, and cooling the dura plus the cerebellar cortex did not produce a stronger avoidance.
In the fourth experiment, the cerebellar cortex was cooled with and without cooling the dura.
In rodents the cerebellar cortex is divided into four transverse zones anterior, central, posterior, and nodular.
The BPN and NRTP project to all parts of the cerebellar cortex with a similar pattern.
Time-activity curves (TACs) were extracted for the whole brain, cerebellar cortex, frontal cortex, temporal cortex, striatum and thalamus.
FreeSurfer v5.0.0 [8, 9] was used for definition of ROIs for caudate, putamen, pallidum, accumbens, and cerebellar cortex.
Hence, voxels of thalamus exhibit connectivity patterns similar to those of voxels from cerebellar cortex to which they are connected.
"Learning causes synaptogenesis, whereas motor activity causes angiogenesis, in cerebellar cortex of adult rats".
