Mashup Score: 26Study reveals that the brain's cerebellum can shape cognition - 24 day(s) ago
If you reward a monkey with some juice, it will learn which hand to move in response to a specific visual cue—but only if the cerebellum is functioning properly. So say neuroscientists at the University …

Mashup Score: 23Cerebellar associative learning underlies skilled reach adaptation - Nature Neuroscience - 11 month(s) ago
This study tests a key hypothesis of cerebellar motor correction, showing that inputs to the cerebellum that drive errors during skilled movements are rapidly adjusted over trials to enhance motor accuracy.

Mashup Score: 16
Episodic memory decline is a major signature of both normal and pathological aging. Many neural regions have been implicated in the processes subserving both episodic memory and typical aging decline. Here, we demonstrate that the cerebellum is causally involved episodic memory under aging. We show that a 12-day neurostimulation program delivered to the right cerebellum led to improvements in…

Mashup Score: 7
The cerebellum is essential for sensorimotor control but also contributes to higher cognitive functions including social behaviors. In a recent study, an international research consortium including scientists from Inserm—University of Montpellier (France), the Institut de Neurociències Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (INc-UAB) (Spain), and the University of Lausanne (Switzerland) uncovered how…

Mashup Score: 1Comparative analysis reveals distinctive epigenetic features of the human cerebellum - 3 year(s) ago
Author summary Humans are distinguished from other species by several aspects of cognition. While much comparative evolutionary neuroscience has focused on the neocortex, increasing recognition of the cerebellum’s role in cognition and motor processing has inspired considerable new research. Comparative molecular studies, however, generally continue to focus on the neocortex. We sought to…

Mashup Score: 25The cerebellum may have played an important role in the evolution of the human brain - 3 year(s) ago
The cerebellum—a part of the brain once recognized mainly for its role in coordinating movement—underwent evolutionary changes that may have contributed to human culture, language and tool use. This new finding appears in a study by Elaine Guevara of Duke University and colleagues, published May 6th in the journal PLOS Genetics.
