How the cerebellum affects thinking and sequencing
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses MRI and TMS to understand how the cerebellum, a brain region, helps with cognitive sequencing—putting thoughts or actions in order. It may lead to better treatments for cognitive problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a combination of gentle brain stimulation paired with specialized exercises designed to help people with cerebellar conditions—disorders affecting balance, coordination, and movement. The goal is to see if pairing these two approaches together works better than either alone.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve thinking and memory problems after an acute ischemic stroke. It also uses brain scans to better understand how the treatment may help.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can improve how people learn and make decisions. It is for healthy adults who are right-handed.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS while monitoring your brain activity through electrodes you already have implanted for your treatment. Researchers want to learn how brain stimulation affects brain recordings in people being treated for neurological or psychiatric conditions.
This pilot study tests whether stimulating the cerebellum (a part of the brain) using TMS can improve brain function and thinking in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may receive TMS and undergo brain/cognitive assessments to see whether it helps.
This study uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive technique that sends magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain—to examine how it affects coordination and brain function. Researchers want to understand if stimulating two different regions of the cerebellum (the part of your brain that controls balance and coordination) produces different effects.
