The coordinates of the peak activation in the CRB were compared using statistical tests, and the results in the primary motor cortex （PMC） were presented as comparison. The results showed a significant difference in cerebellum during bi-hand movement comparing the right-handed with the left-handed subjects. When comparing the right-handed subjects and left-handed subjects during right-hand movement, the significantly different coordinate in dorsal/ventral orientation was observed. The results also showed the different activated site during bi-hand movement and non-dominant hand movement. Our study took the point of view of the lateralization in cerebellum, and the results demonstrated the different site of the peak activation in cerebellum during bi-hand movement and uni-hand movement, which suggested that the handedness also existed in the cerebellum.展开更多
