Neurobiologist Wade Regehr has led research revolutionizing understanding of the outer layer of the cerebellum in the brain, known as the cerebellar cortex. Recent research shows that this structure, ...

Recent scientific and technological advances have led to the development of increasingly sophisticated tools to conduct neuroscience research. These new methods are helping neuroscientists to better ...

Locomotion in complex environments requires precise timing and control of paw movements to adapt steps and coordinate limbs. The cerebellum is thought to support moment-to-moment prediction and ...

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 ...

People often worry about their brains aging, focusing only on the cerebrum related to memory and dementia. However, the cerebellum also ages. In a super-aged society, the key concept explaining why ...

This is an introduction based on a 2017 paper by John S. Hutton et al. For parents and guardians interacting with preschool ...

The cerebellum, a major part of the hindbrain in all vertebrates, is important for motor coordination, language acquisition, and regulating social and emotional behaviors. A study led by Dr. Roy ...

Cerebellum in orange. Cerebellar means "relating to the cerebellum." It's the sister word to cerebral, which means "relating to the cerebrum." Source: Sebastian Kaulitzki / Shutterstock ...

The cerebellum is primarily involved in movement, but a recent study found that the cerebellum is also involved in remembering emotional experiences. The study published in the Proceedings of the ...

The cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") is tucked below the cerebrum (Latin for "big brain"). Cerebellar and cerebral are sister words; the former means "relating to the cerebellum," and the latter ...
