In a July 2018 MIT News article, “ Charting the Cerebellum, ” first author Xavier Guell of MIT's McGovern Institute of Brain Research, describes his team’s state-of-the-art mapping of motor and ...

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 ...

Ataxia isn’t just clumsiness—it’s a complex neurological condition tied to the cerebellum, genetics, and sometimes other ...

For many years the cerebellum, an ancient structure that contains more neurons than the rest of the brain combined, was believed to control very basic motor and balance functions, Frey said. Results ...

Since his birth 33 years ago, Jonathan Keleher has been living without a cerebellum, a structure that usually contains about half the brain's neurons. This exceedingly rare condition has left Jonathan ...

Once thought to only fine-tune movement, the cerebellum is now recognized as a key player in memory, language, emotion, and healthy aging. New research is mapping how its networks integrate motor and ...

The cerebellum is instrumental in coordinating movement and refining motor control through intricate neuronal circuitry, with Purkinje cells serving as the central integrators of sensory inputs and ...

A new mechanism that worsens the symptoms of cerebellar ataxia, a rare degenerative cerebellar disease, has been identified.
