The cerebellum is a major structure of your hindbrain responsible for a wide range of functions, including coordinating your movements. It is important in processing some types of memory.

This work also showed that in most of the cerebellum, neural activity was in sync with that of regions of the cerebral cortex responsible for these nonmotor functions. Together, these findings ...

The cerebellum — or”little brain” — helps with movement and balance. It can also play a role in cognitive functions like speaking, thinking, remembering, and communicating. The cerebellum ...

Two recent studies have illuminated various ways that the "non-thinking" cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") may be involved in complex cerebral thinking.

Reversible cerebellar disruption in non-human primates reveals an acute muscle torque deficit and an adaptive slowing strategy to manage limb dynamics, underscoring distinct primary, and compensatory ...

Understanding others’ beliefs—especially false ones—is key to human communication and begins to develop between ages three and five.

Scientists have mapped the molecular structure of glutamate receptors in the cerebellum for the first time using cryo-electron microscopy.

"Our results also align with evidence suggesting that the socio-cognitive deficits of autism spectrum disorder are associated ...

The children have been watching movies in an MRI scanner while their brain activity was recorded. This test with movie scenes revealed significant involvement of the cerebellum, a brain region mostly ...
