Researchers have developed an animal model that reproduces motor dysfunction and cerebellar neurodegeneration similar to that in spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) by inhibiting chaperone-mediated autophagy ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects an estimated 2.3 million people worldwide. Approximately 80% of people with MS have inflammation in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that helps control movement ...

A research team from Kumamoto University, Japan has developed an animal model that reproduces motor dysfunction and cerebellar neurodegeneration similar to that in spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) by ...

Many people with multiple sclerosis struggle with balance and coordination, and this study uncovers a hidden reason why.

Reduction in mitochondrial activity in multiple sclerosis contributes to Purkinje cell loss. Researchers at the University of California, Riverside (CA, USA) have demonstrated the role mitochondrial ...

Cerebellum (Latin: "little brain") in yellow. Cerebellar means "relating to the cerebellum." Cerebro-cerebellar circuits connect both cerebral hemispheres to the left and right cerebellar hemispheres.

This early 20th-century anatomical illustration of the human brain (from below) shows the left and right hemispheres of both the cerebellum and cerebrum. "Cerebellar" is the sister word to "cerebral" ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that is thought to impact about 2.3 million people around the world. This disorder is characterized by the loss of a protective neuronal ...
