The cerebellum plays a critical role in both motor and non-motor functions, and its dysfunction is linked to various mental disorders, including autism. This study maps the three-dimensional ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms of absence seizures and potential therapy options. Stimulation of certain cerebellar areas could help combat absence ...

Associative learning was always thought to be regulated by the cortex of the cerebellum, often referred to as the "little brain". However, new research from a collaboration between the Netherlands ...

Both hemispheres of the human cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") are tucked underneath the larger cerebral hemispheres. Cerebellar is the sister word to cerebral and means "relating to the ...

People with a rare genetic disorder known as Prader-Willi syndrome never feel full, and this insatiable hunger can lead to life-threatening obesity. Scientists studying the problem have now found that ...

Scientists have identified an entirely new way the brain signals fullness after eating. The findings offer a novel target for therapies that could dramatically curb overeating. People with Prader ...

Stimulation of certain cerebellar areas could help combat absence seizures. However, what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the brain in this form of epilepsy and how exactly stimulation ...
