In this new study, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and Columbia University wanted to build on previous research identifying the cerebellum's posterior-lateral region as playing a role ...

This setup tested their ability to form new visuomotor associations, or links between what they see and how they should move. The researchers focused on a specific area of the cerebellum known as the ...

Although it accounts for about 10 percent of the brain’s mass, the cerebellum contains nearly 80 percent of the brain’s neurons. She added that posterior lateral cerebellum inactivation didn’t cause ...

In a previous study, co-lead investigator Naveen Sendhilnathan, Ph.D., of Columbia University showed that in this posterior lateral region of the cerebellum, the activity of neurons called ...

It is currently not known whether different parts of the cerebellar cortex play differential or synergistic roles in the planning and execution of this behavior. Here, we measured Purkinje cell (PC) ...

Objective Cerebellar disease burden and cerebro-cerebellar connectivity alterations are poorly characterised in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) despite the likely contribution of cerebellar ...

However, relatively few molecular studies of the cerebellum in a comparative evolutionary context have been conducted. Here, we identify human-specific methylation in the lateral cerebellum relative ...

To test how the cerebellum processes reward related signals in the same type of classical conditioning behavior typically studied to evaluate reward processing in the VTA and striatum, we have used ...
