Brainstem tumors often cause intractable neurobehavioral issues, which can be a challenge for patients and surgeons. Research on cerebellar changes in these patients is limited, despite symptoms ...

The cerebellum, historically linked only to motor control, is now recognized as a vital hub for executive function, emotion, and social cognition. Through ...

Sporadic late-onset cerebellar ataxia (SLOCA) is a syndrome defined by subacute or chronic and progressive ataxia occurring after the age of 40 years in individuals without a family history of ataxia.

Could an anomaly in the developing brain explain motor difficulties occurring decades later in people with rare movement disorders? These are the genetics being investigated by researchers at ...

Spinal muscular atrophy affects all the body's muscles. For a long time, it was considered a disease caused solely by the loss of nerve cells in the spinal cord. Now, a research team at Leipzig ...

Researchers use zebrafish models to discover that the RLS risk gene MEIS1 regulates Purkinje cell survival and motor control.

Cerebellar ataxia results from dysfunction of the cerebellum, which is part of the brain that helps regulate and control movement and balance. People may experience changes in gait, speech, and eye ...

Spinal muscular atrophy is a rare genetic disease of the nerve cells in the spinal cord that can appear as early as infancy. The disease leads to a progressive loss of muscle strength. Those affected ...

Cerebellar agenesis is a condition in which the normal formation of the hindbrain is disrupted. Patients with this disorder have very few pieces of cerebellar tissue - frequently the remains of lower ...

People often worry about their brains aging, focusing only on the cerebrum related to memory and dementia. However, the ...
