Cerebellar degeneration occurs when the neurons in the cerebellum deteriorate. The cerebellum is the portion of the brain that controls balance and muscle coordination. A number of conditions can ...

For years, serotonin has been linked to anxiety, but new research flips the script—higher serotonin in the cerebellum might ...

Understanding the neural circuits that drive anxiety may help researchers discover circuit-specific targets and therefore ...

Summary: New research reveals that serotonin in the cerebellum plays a crucial role in anxiety regulation. Scientists found that mice with lower cerebellar serotonin levels displayed increased anxiety ...

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 ...

Serotonin in the cerebellum alleviates anxiety-like behavior in mice, which counters the previously accepted role of serotonin in anxiety and may point to new treatment strategies.
