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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

The cerebellum, historically associated with motor coordination, has emerged as a key modulator of seizure activity through its extensive connections with thalamo-cortical and brainstem circuits.

Reduction in mitochondrial activity in multiple sclerosis contributes to Purkinje cell loss. Researchers at the University of California, Riverside (CA, USA) have demonstrated the role mitochondrial ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that is thought to impact about 2.3 million people around the world. This disorder is characterized by the loss of a protective neuronal ...

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 ...
