Although the cerebellum is increasingly being viewed as a brain area involved in cognition, it typically is excluded from circuitry considered to mediate stimulant-associated behaviors since it is low ...

The brain's cerebellum is key to the body's coordination of movement. New research examines the possible association between developmental deficits in the cerebellar vermis during childhood and later ...

The cerebellar posterior vermis generates an estimation of our motion (translation) and orientation (tilt) in space using cues originating from semicircular canals and otolith organs. Theoretical work ...

The cerebellum is incorporated into the distributed neural circuits subserving motor control, cognitive processing and the modulation of emotion. This lecture provides an overview of anatomical ...

Adults with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have smaller cerebellums than unaffected adults, suggesting that this part of the brain may be a potential therapeutic target. According to recent ...

The cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") is tucked below the cerebrum (Latin for "big brain"). Cerebellar and cerebral are sister words; the former means "relating to the cerebellum," and the latter ...

—The cerebellum apparently plays an important role in ADHD, and a new study may be the first to use multicohort longitudinal data to evaluate cerebellar growth in children with the disorder. Reviewed ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers in the March issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research have found that developmental deficits in cerebellar function – as reflected by measures of ...
