We investigated with fMRI the cerebellar representation of articulatory vertical movements of the tongue and orofacial muscles in healthy volunteers and its correspondence to the area known to be affected in cerebellar dysarthria. fMRI stimulation is mainly unilateral in agreement with the frequent occurrence of dysarthria in unilateral infarction.
