My late father, Richard Bergland, M.D. (1932-2007) published The Fabric of Mind in 1986. For the book cover, dad insisted on a sagittal plane view; he liked how this vantage point elucidates major ...

Although many functions have been ascribed to the cerebellum, the uniformity of its synaptic organization suggests that a single, characteristic computation may be common to all. Computer simulations ...

Its name means “little brain” in Latin, but the cerebellum is anything but. The fist-sized orb at the back of the brain has an outsized role in social interactions, a study in mice suggests. Once ...

For the longest time the cerebellum, a dense, fist-size formation located at the base of the brain, never got much respect from neuroscientists. For about two centuries the scientific community ...

Spinal muscular atrophy affects all the body’s muscles. For a long time, it was considered a disease caused solely by the loss of nerve cells in the spinal cord. Now, a research team at Leipzig ...
