The cerebellum (which is Latin for ‘little brain’) is the area of the brain in charge of fine motor coordination and balance, and it keeps our movements smooth and stable by predicting what our next ...

Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

Optogenetic climbing fiber activation regulates experience-dependent plasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex of mice, suggesting a role of the olivo-cerebellum in instructive signaling across ...

Cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") in red. Cerebellar means "related to the cerebellum." Source: Wikimedia Commons Last week, I wrote a blog post that recapped how my neuroscientist father, Richard ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In recent decades, neuroscience has seen some stunning advances, and yet a critical part of the brain remains a mystery. I am referring ...

A new study has found that stronger communication between the cerebellum and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex—a part of the brain associated with higher-order thinking—is linked to reduced severity ...

The cerebellum, a brain region located at the back of the head that has long been known to support the coordination of muscle movements, has recently also been implicated in more sophisticated mental ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated how droplet-based three-dimensional (3D) printing could help fabricate cerebral cortex tissues comprising layer-specific neurons ...
