temporal brain regions. Additionally, the self-paced tapping activated frontocerebellar networks in the controls, but only precuneus in the alcoholics. Thus, rather than enlisting a frontocerebellar network, as did the controls, the alcoholics recruited a higher-order, “more effortful” or “less automatic,” parietal planning mode not required by the controls. The authors concluded that their findings reflected different neurocognitive strategies and brain circuitries used by alcoholics and controls to complete the task.
