In other words, the cerebellum helped orchestrate the motor commands from the cerebral cortex, the baseball glove–shaped structure that makes up most of the human brain and the organ’s master ...

Radial migration is the principal mode of migration in the developing cerebral cortex, although the GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid)-expressing interneurons, which arise in the ventral telencephalon ...

Beneath the Cortex Buried in the core of the brain are a collection of structures that serve a variety of important functions. Some of these essential components are: The cerebellum (Latin for ...

A small world after all The cerebral cortex is the central hub for coordinating ... Miyawaki’s lab has been focusing on another brain region, the cerebellum, which coordinates physical movement.

Cerebellar patients exhibit various motor impairments, but the sequence of primary and compensatory processes leading to these deficits remains unclear. To investigate this, we reversibly blocked ...

and relay the information to the cerebellar nuclei neurons that instruct the rest of the brain to modify behaviors. The Purkinje cells thus act as a critical hub that developmentally scales production ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system ...
