Purkinje cell subpopulations have varying vulnerability to age-related neurodegeneration, creating a striped pattern of cell loss that reflects the developmental, anatomical, and functional ...
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 ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In recent decades, neuroscience has seen some stunning advances, and yet a critical part of the brain remains a mystery. I am referring ...
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,” ...
Cerebellar ataxia results from dysfunction of the cerebellum, which is part of the brain that helps regulate and control movement and balance. People may experience changes in gait, speech, and eye ...
They found that when children experience inflammation—like during infections or asthma—it can affect how important brain cells grow. This might help explain why some children later develop conditions ...
MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL--Researchers at the University of Minnesota have demonstrated the role of the brain's cerebellum during motor skill learning. By separating the effects of motor learning from ...
