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 ...

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 ...

The functions of the cerebellum are traditionally assumed to be limited to the regulation of motor coordination, balance, and motor speech. In recent decades, however, the results of neuroanatomical, ...

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

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 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 ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

The cerebral cortex of your brain is the outermost layer. It's the part of the brain that appears wrinkled because it has a lot of folds. Your cerebral cortex is divided into two hemispheres. Each ...
