Until the turn of the 21st century, most neuroscientists thought the human cerebellum was only responsible for motor functions, such as the coordination of muscle movements. In recent years, however, ...

A recent study found that the way cerebellar neurons communicate with other brain regions is different in various movement disorders. The cerebellum is a region of the brain that helps us refine our ...

The cerebellum is a region of the brain that helps us refine our movements and learn new motor skills. Patients and mouse models experience many kinds of abnormal movements when their cerebellum is ...

Cerebral white matter (green) and the cerebellum (red). A study released on Jan. 6, 2015, from the University of Iowa (UI) has linked abnormalities of the cerebellum, differences in cerebral white ...

A section of a preserved human brain is displayed at the Museum of Neuroanatomy at the University at Buffalo, in Buffalo, N.Y., on Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2003. David Duprey / AP A team of researchers at UT ...

DALLAS — A team of researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center is aiming to find treatments for diseases of the cerebellum, a fist-sized structure in the back of the brain that helps with movement, ...

The brain’s cerebellum plays a key role in coordinating movement, balance, and cognition. Injury to the cerebellum can have a profound impact on basic motor skills, such as sitting, standing, and ...

Previously, the group investigated two models of dystonia, a different motor disorder, and demonstrated that preventing brainstem neurons from communicating with the cerebellum disturbed sleep. 4 ...

The way you walk, something you likely perform automatically thousands of times daily, contains a wealth of information about your overall health. Gait analysis, once primarily the domain of elite ...
