Could an anomaly in the developing brain explain motor difficulties occurring decades later in people with rare movement ...

Researchers have developed an animal model that reproduces motor dysfunction and cerebellar neurodegeneration similar to that in spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) by inhibiting chaperone-mediated autophagy ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects an estimated 2.3 million people worldwide. Approximately 80% of people with MS have inflammation in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that helps control movement ...

A recent study found that the way cerebellar neurons communicate with other brain regions is different in various movement disorders. The cerebellum is a region of the brain that helps us refine our ...

The cerebellum is a region of the brain that helps us refine our movements and learn new motor skills. Patients and mouse models experience many kinds of abnormal movements when their cerebellum is ...

A section of a preserved human brain is displayed at the Museum of Neuroanatomy at the University at Buffalo, in Buffalo, N.Y., on Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2003.(David Duprey / AP) A team of researchers at UT ...

In a new study looking at toddlers and preschoolers with autism, researchers have found that children with better motor skills were more adept at socializing and communicating. This study adds to ...

Reduction in mitochondrial activity in multiple sclerosis contributes to Purkinje cell loss. Researchers at the University of California, Riverside (CA, USA) have demonstrated the role mitochondrial ...
