  Figure 664-01-001.  Functional MRI during cerebellar deep brain stimulation: initial findings and thermal safety
Benson Yang, Ian Bledsoe, Skyler Deutsch, David Mikhael, Serenna Gerhard, Sydney Riemer, Allisun Wiltshire, Sarah Wang, Lee Reid, Philip Starr, Simon Graham, Marta San Luciano Palenzuela, Melanie Morrison
Physical Sciences Platform, Sunnybrook Research Institute, Toronto, Canada
Impact: This proof-of-concept work demonstrates for the first time that informative fMRI data can be safely acquired during cerebellar DBS. Using fMRI to study cerebellar DBS mechanisms can both guide treatment optimization and provide broader insights into cerebellar function.
  Figure 664-01-002.  Functional gradients of the neonatal cerebellum
Nina Treder, Sunniva Fenn-Moltu, Stuart Oldham, Dimitar Kostadinov, Tomoki Arichi, Grainne McAlonan, Dafnis Batalle
King's College London, London, United Kingdom
Impact: This study characterises neonatal intra-cerebellar and cerebro-cerebellar functional gradients for the first time. This framework supports the mapping of early development of cerebellar functional architecture that underpins later cognitive and behavioural development.
  Figure 664-01-003.  Cerebellar-mediated imbalance of multiple neural circuits in Internet Gaming Disorder
Bohui Mei, Yong Zhang
Impact: This study establishes the cerebellum as a multimodal hub in IGD, providing precise targets for neuromodulation therapy and reshaping the understanding of its neural circuitry beyond traditional pathways.
  Figure 664-01-004.  Cerebellar atrophy modulates freezing of gait in multiple system atrophy through cognitive dysfunction
huaguang yang, Weiyin Vivian Liu, Liang Li, Zhi Wen, Lanhua Hu, Yunfei Zha
Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China
Impact: This study identifies cerebellar Crus II atrophy as a structural biomarker linking cognitive dysfunction to freezing of gait in MSA, enabling early risk stratification and guiding future neuromodulation or cognitive interventions to improve mobility and quality of life in patients.
  Figure 664-01-005.  Patient risk stratification of Alzheimer's disease based on the functional connectivity changes of cerebellar subregions
Weimin Zheng, Hui Li, Xiuqin Jia, Qi Yang
Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, beijing, China
Impact: Cerebellar functional connectivity alterations provide novel imaging biomarkers for early AD/MCI diagnosis and clinical stratification.
  Figure 664-01-006.  Progressive Reconfiguration of Static and Dynamic Functional Network Connectivity in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3
runhua sha, Minfen Liu, yushan yi, Yunyu Gao, Yongzhou Xu, Jing Zhao
The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, China
Impact: SCA3 patients exhibited gradually progressive large-scale functional network reconfiguration. These results collectively illuminate the evolving landscape of network-level dysfunction in SCA3 and provide new insights into its underlying neural mechanisms.
  Figure 664-01-007.  Functional motor network mapping with resting-state, task-based, and concurrent TMS-fMRI paradigms using the RF cap
Evgenii Kim, Mohammad Daneshzand, Danyal Bhutto, Lucia Navarro de Lara, Aapo Nummenmaa
Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, United States of America
Impact: By perturbing motor cortex (M1) with adjustable TMS intensity and measuring whole-brain responses, this work provides comprehensive causal network mapping complementing task-based and resting-state fMRI, enabling identification of optimal cortical targets and stimulation parameters for personalized neuromodulation.
  Figure 664-01-008.  Comparative Evaluation of Automated Cerebellar Parcellation Pipelines in Degenerative Cerebellar Diseases
Sebastian Collins, Lachlan Strike, Ian Harding, TRACK-FA Neuroimaging Consortium
QIMR Berghofer, Australia
Impact: Automated cerebellar parcellation tools reliably detect cerebellar atrophy but produce varying volume estimates. Pipeline selection critically affects quantitative outcomes in clinical trials. CerebNet and SPM12 offer optimal performance for cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, respectively.
  Figure 664-01-009.  Resting-State BOLD Detects Diaschisis-Related Cerebellar Cerebrovascular Reactivity in Unilateral Cerebrovascular Occlusion
Jie Xu, Yi Shan, Bixiao Cui, Yayan Yin, Jiayouzheng Li, Jing Liu, Boyan Xu, Jie Lu
Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China
Impact: Resting-state BOLD enables quantitative assessment of cerebellar cerebrovascular reactivity and reliable detection of crossed cerebellar diaschisis, demonstrating comparable diagnostic accuracy to 18F-FDG PET. This task-free method offers a practical tool for evaluating cerebellar hemodynamic impairment in cerebrovascular occlusive disease.
  Figure 664-01-010.  Features of brain regional homogeneity correlated with response inhibition in children with ADHD:effect of digital therapy
Fuquan Wei, Neng Wang, Sikai Wu, Juhua Jin, Si Li, Hongtao Hou, Feiyan Zhu, Ran Lv, Yunzhu Wu, Guoqun Mao, Luhan Tang
Tongde Hospital of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou, China
Impact: This study identifies neural mechanisms underlying digital therapy for ADHD, showing improved response inhibition and altered fronto-striatal-cerebellar synchronization, providing new neuroimaging evidence and potential targets for personalized digital interventions in neurodevelopmental disorders.
  Figure 664-01-011.  Causal and functional dynamics of visuomotor network demonstrate excitatory/inhibitory alterations in multiple sclerosis

University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy
Impact: Integrating information from DCM and TVB reveals how disrupted excitation/inhibition balance drives clinical worsening in MS. Merging information from effective connectivity and simulated brain dynamics offers mechanistic biomarkers for monitoring disease progression and the future tailoring of patient-specific interventions.
  Figure 664-01-012.  Brain Functional Network Abnormalities and Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Modulation Mechanisms in SCA3
Peiling Ou, Guolin Ma
China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing, China
Impact: This study demonstrates that rTMS can effectively regulate abnormal functional network patterns in SCA3, improving motor symptoms. It opens new avenues for non-invasive neuromodulation therapies and highlights the potential of CPM for personalized predictions in neurodegenerative diseases.
