The cerebellum, historically linked only to motor control, is now recognized as a vital hub for executive function, emotion, and social cognition. Through ...

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 ...

Researchers at Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute find activity in more easily accessible Purkinje cells in ...

A new study upends movement disorder research, proving Purkinje cells are a poor biomarker for deep cerebellar nuclei.

A new finding by a Virginia Tech neuroscientist at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC is challenging the way ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects an estimated 2.3 million people worldwide. Approximately 80% of people with MS have inflammation in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that helps control movement ...

Hereditary cerebellar ataxias are a diverse group of genetic neurodegenerative disorders characterized by progressive impairment of motor coordination, balance, and speech due to cerebellar ...

Cerebellar and afferent ataxias present with a characteristic gait disorder that reflects cerebellar motor dysfunction and sensory loss. These disorders are a diagnostic challenge for clinicians ...

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, balance ...

For the first time, a team of researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), has ...

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 ...
