Timing networks 71 −6.60 2 −74 −34 Cerebellum Vermis VII Structures known to be involved during timing paradigms in healthy controls. The cerebellar vermis contains the fastigial and dentate nuclei and is known as the “limbic cerebellum” with bilateral connections to dopaminergic regions (VTA, hippocampus, NAcc). Reduced vermis volume is the most common cerebellar structural deficit in schizophrenia
