Neurexin, a cell associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, is an essential molecule for the survival of nerve cells called cerebellar granule cells in the cerebellum. This study revealed that ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a previously underappreciated role in the maturation of coordinated movement. A ...

Astrocytes in the cerebellum trigger a shift in GABA signaling during late adolescence, enabling adult-level motor coordination.

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a previously underappreciated role in the maturation of coordinated movement.

A placebo-controlled study investigating the dexamethasone-sparing effects of corticorelin acetate in patients with primary or metastatic brain tumors and peritumoral edema No significant financial ...

Scientists have developed a novel human brain organoid model that generates all the major cell types of the cerebellum, a hindbrain region predominantly made up of two cell types necessary for ...

In the cerebellum, granule cell inhibition leads to all the classic signs of being inebriated, such as, staggering, stumbling, slurred speech, etc. When It Comes to Alcohol, Are You More of a D2 or B6 ...

Now, in a recently published Journal of Cell Biology paper, scientists used a newer electron microscopy technique, called volume electron microscopy (vEM), to examine how primary cilia on developing ...
