Previous studies have reported that the cerebellum, which is most well-known for coordinating the body’s movements, is also involved in language. However, scientists still don’t know whether the ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

Cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") in red. Cerebellar means "related to the cerebellum." Source: Wikimedia Commons Last week, I wrote a blog post that recapped how my neuroscientist father, Richard ...

Researchers found that nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, via the UPF2 protein, is crucial for neuronal migration and cortical ...

Overconnectivity or underconnectivity between specific regions of the cerebellum and the cerebral cortex are linked to children with autism specturm disorders. Source: SDSU Marketing and ...

Researchers have compared the structure of the cerebellum and cerebrum in the brains of 56 mammals, providing insights into the evolution and mechanisms of brain folding. Scientists from the have ...

The cerebellum, a brain region located at the back of the head that has long been known to support the coordination of muscle movements, has recently also been implicated in more sophisticated mental ...

Researchers discover that the RNA surveillance system NMD and the protein UPF2 are essential for guiding neuronal migration and forming the brain's layered cortex.
