Research on the gut microbiome has triggered a 'revolution' in nutritional science, and in the last few years, dietary fiber has become the "new protein" – added to foods in abundance to feed our gut ...

THE Purkinje shift is the displacement of the maximum sensitivity of the eye towards the blue end of the spectrum at low levels of ambient illumination. It occurs in a wide variety of vertebrates ...

This important study successfully applies an innovative chemogenetic tool to investigate cerebellar function to advance our understanding of the contributions of Purkinje cell populations to postural ...

Be sure to take precautions if you're involved in home improvement projects or other situations that might expose you to fiberglass. Fiberglass is a synthetic or man-made material that consists of ...

To examine the neural connections between the cerebellum and the nuclei involved in the sleep-wake cycle, we investigated the axonal projections of Purkinje cells in the mouse posterior vermis by ...

Our data suggest that, as in mammals, Purkinje cells are initially innervated by multiple climbing fibers that are winnowed to a single input. To probe the development of functional sensory input to ...
