Scientists have found in a new study that the human brain’s cerebellum, known for mainly regulating muscle control and body movement, also helps in remembering emotional experiences. Earlier studies ...

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 ...

In 1504, Leonardo da Vinci made wax castings of the brain and coined the term “cerebellum” which is Latin for “little brain.” My father, Richard Bergland M.D., was a neuroscientist and neurosurgeon ...

The cerebellum is known primarily for the regulation of movement. Researchers have now discovered that the cerebellum also plays an important role in remembering emotional experiences. The cerebellum ...

Because the cerebellum has long been known for coordinating the timing and precision of fluid muscle movements, it was important for me to position cerebellar motor functions as a central player when ...

The cerebellum, one of three main parts that make up your brain, is responsible for coordinating movement and balance. Also known as the “little brain,” it plays a vital role in language and attention ...

Genetic maps of the development of cells in the cerebella of human, mouse and opossum shed light on ancestral and species-specific cellular and molecular characteristics of cerebellum development. The ...

Once thought of as a mere motor coordination center, the “little brain” is now appreciated as participating in higher neurological processes. As a physician for the British Army during World War I, ...

A team of researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) has developed the world's most advanced software to study the ...
