The brains of apes and humans evolved unusually quickly when it came to the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in control of movement, researchers say. The finding may change what is considered ...

In recent decades, neuroscience has seen some stunning advances, and yet a critical part of the brain remains a mystery. I am referring to the cerebellum, so named for the Latin for “little brain,” ...

When we say someone has a quick mind, it may be in part thanks to our expanded cerebellum that distinguishes human brains from those of macaque monkeys, for example. Sometimes referred to by its Latin ...

Medical experts use the term “cerebellar ataxia” when referring to conditions that lead to a lack of muscle control. Dysmetria is one form of cerebellar ataxia. Dysmetria occurs due to the improper ...

The results of Clark et al. 1 are unexpected, because it is known that the cerebellar parts that show the most pronounced growth in evolution are linked to the neocortex and that, congruently, the ...

In November 2014, unpublished research was presented at the Society of Neuroscience conference that opens up fascinating possibilities of better understanding how Purkinje cells are involved in ...

When we say someone has a quick mind, it may be in part thanks to our expanded cerebellum that distinguishes human brains from those of macaque monkeys, for example. Sometimes referred to by its Latin ...
