To quantitatively evaluate brain tissue and its corresponding function, knowledge of the 3D cellular distribution is essential. The gold standard to obtain this information is histology, a destructive ...

The cerebellum, one of three main parts that make up your brain, is responsible for coordinating movement and balance. Also known as the “little brain,” it plays a vital role in language and attention ...

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, ...

Cerebellin 1 is abundant in the cerebellum, but its function remains a mystery. Hirai et al. now show that this gene is required to maintain parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapses, via the orphan ...

The cerebellum is essential for sensorimotor control but also contributes to higher cognitive functions including social behaviors. Researchers uncovered how dopamine in the cerebellum modulates ...

Scientists shed light on the often-overlooked role of the cerebellum in both motor and social-cognitive processes. His research contributes to a growing shift in the field of neuroscience, which has ...

This study presents a fundamental discovery of how cerebellar climbing fibers modulate plastic changes in the somatosensory cortex by identifying both the responsible cortical circuit and the ...
