Evidence for hierarchical cognitive control in the human cerebellum

AM D'Mello, JDE Gabrieli, DE Nee - Current Biology, 2020 - cell.com
In non-habitual situations, cognitive control aligns actions with both short- and long-term
goals. The capacity for cognitive control is tightly tied to the prefrontal cortex, whose expansion …

Cerebro-cerebellar circuits in autism spectrum disorder

AM D'Mello, CJ Stoodley - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2015 - frontiersin.org
The cerebellum is one of the most consistent sites of abnormality in autism spectrum disorder
(ASD) and cerebellar damage is associated with an increased risk of ASD symptoms, …

Exclusion of females in autism research: Empirical evidence for a “leaky” recruitment‐to‐research pipeline

AM D'Mello, IR Frosch, CE Li, AL Cardinaux… - Autism …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by challenges in social communication and
the presence of repetitive behaviors or restricted interests. Notably, males are four times as …

Cerebellar contributions to social cognition in ASD: A predictive processing framework

IR Frosch, VA Mittal, AM D'Mello - Frontiers in integrative …, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Functional, structural, and cytoarchitectural differences in the cerebellum are consistently
reported in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Despite this, the mechanisms governing …

[HTML][HTML] Cerebellar gray matter and lobular volumes correlate with core autism symptoms

AM D'Mello, D Crocetti, SH Mostofsky, CJ Stoodley - NeuroImage: Clinical, 2015 - Elsevier
Neuroanatomical differences in the cerebellum are among the most consistent findings in
autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but little is known about the relationship between cerebellar …

Cerebellar tDCS modulates neural circuits during semantic prediction: a combined tDCS-fMRI study

AM D'Mello, PE Turkeltaub, CJ Stoodley - Journal of Neuroscience, 2017 - jneurosci.org
It has been proposed that the cerebellum acquires internal models of mental processes that
enable prediction, allowing for the optimization of behavior. In language, semantic prediction …

Altered cerebellar connectivity in autism and cerebellar-mediated rescue of autism-related behaviors in mice

CJ Stoodley, AM D'Mello, J Ellegood… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Cerebellar abnormalities, particularly in Right Crus I (RCrusI), are consistently reported in
autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Although RCrusI is functionally connected with ASD-…

Diminished repetition suppression reveals selective and systems-level face processing differences in ASD

AM D'Mello, IR Frosch, SL Meisler… - Journal of …, 2023 - jneurosci.org
Repeated exposure to a stimulus results in reduced neural response, or repetition suppression,
in brain regions responsible for processing that stimulus. This rapid accommodation to …

Ignoring the cerebellum is hindering progress in neuroscience

B Wang, A LeBel, AM D'Mello - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2025 - cell.com
Traditionally considered a motor structure, the cerebellum has been shown to play a key
role in several cognitive functions. However, for decades, the cerebellum has been largely …
