Intrinsic structural covariation links cerebellum subregions to the cerebral cortex
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The human cerebellum is increasingly recognized to be involved in non-motor and higher-order cognitive functions. Yet, its ties with the entire cerebral cortex have not been holistically studied in a whole-brain exploration with a unified analytical framework. Here, we characterized disso-ciable cortical-cerebellar structural covariation patterns across the brain in n=38,527 UK Bio-bank participants. Our results invigorate previous observations in that important shares of corti-cal-cerebellar structural covariation are described as i) a dissociation between the higher-level cognitive system and lower-level sensorimotor system, as well as ii) an anticorrelation between the visual-attention system and advanced associative networks within the cerebellum. We also discovered a novel pattern of ipsilateral, rather than contralateral, cerebral-cerebellar associations. Furthermore, phenome-wide association assays revealed key phenotypes, including cognitive phenotypes, lifestyle, physical properties, and blood assays, associated with each decomposed covariation pattern, helping to understand their real-world implications. This systems neurosci-ence view paves the way for future studies to explore the implications of these structural covaria-tions, potentially illuminating new pathways in our understanding of neurological and cognitive disorders.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
