In addition, we also observed that ReHo of other regions were associated with episodic memory performance, mainly including the temporal cortex, the supramarginal gyrus (SMG), and bilateral cerebellum. The superior temporal cortex contains the primary auditory cortex and plays a crucial role in speech process and auditory information process (Binder et al., 2000; Zatorre et al., 2002; Leff et al., 2009; Rauschecker and Scott, 2009). Furthermore, the SMG is related to linguistic functions, such as phonological processing in the phonological-articulatory loop (Dehaene-Lambertz et al., 2005; Rauschecker and Scott, 2009). Therefore, it is reasonable to have found involvement of the temporal cortex and SMG because we used an auditory memory test. In addition, our results are consistent with the recent findings of cerebellum’s cognitive role. It is increasing recognized that the cerebellum is engaged in multiple domains of higher-order cognitive functions and emotional control (Schmahmann and Caplan, 2006), beyond the motor domain. Neuroimaging and neuropsychological evidence has shown that the cerebellum contributes to episodic memory processes, and patients with cerebellar lesions have been reported to suffer from episodic memory deficits (Gottwald
