vermis.
Contrasting the perception
of anxiety sweat with sport sweat, significant brain activations were detected in the right insula (BA 44, 47, 48; Fig. 3a), the right precuneus (BA 4, 5; Fig. 3b), the left supramarginal gyrus (BA 40), the right thalamus, the dorsomedial frontal gyrus (BA 6, 8, 9), the right inferior frontal gyurs (BA 44), the right anterior (BA 24) and posterior (BA 23, 29) cingulated gyrus (Fig. 3c), the right substantia nigra, the left fusiform gyrus (BA 37; Fig. 3d), the left cerebellum (BA 19, 30) and the medial

A selective hypoplasia
of the cerebellar
vermis is also seen in dogs, and when combined with hydrocephalus and cyst - like dilatation
of the fourth ventricle, the condition has been termed the Dandy - Walker syndrome, which may have a familial basis.
It has also been noted on post-mortem examination
of CKCS and other small breed dogs that the supraoccipital bone overlying the cerebellar
vermis is remarkably thin and sometimes eroded so that the foramen magnum is enlarged dorsally [23], which could indicate that there has been substantial bone resorbtion.
Dogs with round cerebellum shape and no evidence
of narrowing or obstruction
of the CSF channels were defined as unaffected, dogs with indentation
of the cerebellum by the supraoccipital bone and a narrowed but not obstructed CSF channel (signal consistent with CSF between the caudal
vermis and the foramen magnum) were defined as mild CM and dogs where the cerebellar
vermis is impacted into or herniated through the foramen magnum were defined as affected.
