A dysfunction of a certain calcium channel, the so called P/Q-type channel, in neurons of the cerebellum is sufficient to cause different motor diseases as well as a special type of epilepsy. A ...
Dr Richard Apps leads the Sensorimotor Control Group in the Department of Physiology. His group uses a range of neuroscience techniques to study brain circuits involved in the control of movement. We ...
The image shows how the cerebellum (white) send its projections across the brain of a newborn mouse. A wide network of color-coded axons reveals how this tiny structure connects with multiple brain ...
Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. A new study from the University of Chicago Medical Center has identified that malfunctioning Purkinje cell neuroplasticity is directly associated with the reduced ...
Medically accurate illustration of the cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") in orange. Cerebellar means "relating to the cerebellum." At its heart, the cerebellum has four cerebellar nuclei embedded ...
The cerebellum, located in the lower back part of the brain, plays a vital role in most physical movements, including eye movements. Problems with the cerebellum can lead to coordination difficulties, ...
Understanding and treating brain disorders such as tremor, imbalance, and speech impairments requires deep knowledge of the cerebellum, a part of the brain that’s crucial for making accurate movements ...
Associative learning was always thought to be regulated by the cortex of the cerebellum, often referred to as the “little brain". However, new research from a collaboration between the Netherlands ...
