These neurons provide signals that influence activity ... Figure 3: The neuronal unit machine of the cerebellum. Here I consider how the components reviewed above are combined during a problem ...

How neurons become organized in 3D during development is a critical unanswered question. We have two main projects. In one we are identifying the signals that regulate scaling of the numbers of ...

Some of these essential components are: The cerebellum (Latin for “little brain”) is packed with 50 percent of the neurons contained in the whole central nervous system. It is located at the ...

These neurons, alive but functionally altered, have helped to advance our understanding of the cerebellum's critical teaching ...

This new finding could help explain why some children develop neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism or schizophrenia.

Scientists have uncovered how developing neurons migrate from the germinal zone, a process critical for proper brain circuit formation.

mice with ataxia, dystonia, and tremors. To address this question, we built a computational model and revealed that cerebellar neurons fired differently in healthy [animals] compared to animals ...

When military personnel fire certain powerful weapons, they may be exposed to blast waves that damage blood vessels in the ...

Scientists at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have made an important discovery about how inflammation in ...

Mammals and birds have dramatically more neurons in their forebrain and cerebellum than reptiles, and neuron numbers have scaled up significantly only four times in more than 300 million years of ...

This study maps the three-dimensional distributions of 50,168 target neurons of cerebellar nuclei (CN) in wild-type and Nlgn3 R451C mutant mice. The researchers found that the Nlgn3 R451C mutation ...
