Typically, the sensorimotor connections between the cerebral cortex and cerebellum develop during the first few years of life. In a press release Müller said, Our findings suggest that the early ...

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 ...

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, ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

The cerebellum is a fist-size structure tucked below the cerebral cortex—the part of the brain that we typically attribute to higher-order cognitive processes, including consciousness, language, and ...

Medical experts use the term “cerebellar ataxia” when referring to conditions that lead to a lack of muscle control. Dysmetria is one form of cerebellar ataxia. Dysmetria occurs due to the improper ...

Overconnectivity or underconnectivity between specific regions of the cerebellum and the cerebral cortex are linked to children with autism specturm disorders. Source: SDSU Marketing and ...
