In a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, a group of researchers explored how the cerebellum directly affects dopamine release in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). While the cerebellum's ...

New findings published in the journal Nature Neuroscience have shed light on a mysterious pathway between the reward center of the brain that is key to how we form habits, known as the basal ganglia, ...

For the first time, a team of researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), has ...

These pathways process movement across the visual field. Balanoff says their findings of activity increase in the cerebellum and optic flow pathways weren't necessarily surprising, since the areas ...

Scientists have characterized the folding of the cerebellar cortex using data from a sample of 56 mammalian species, allowing them to study the diversity and evolution of cerebellar folding and its ...

The image shows how the cerebellum (white) send its projections across the brain of a newborn mouse. A wide network of color-coded axons reveals how this tiny structure connects with multiple brain ...
