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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Medical experts use the term “cerebellar ataxia” when referring to conditions that lead to a lack of muscle control. Dysmetria is one form of cerebellar ataxia. Dysmetria occurs due to the improper ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that is thought to impact about 2.3 million people around the world. This disorder is characterized by the loss of a protective neuronal ...

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 ...

Understanding and treating brain disorders such as tremor, imbalance, and speech impairments requires deep knowledge of the cerebellum, a part of the brain that’s crucial for making accurate movements ...

What is causing this 55-year-old woman to have distorted speech and balance problems when walking, and why have her symptoms worsened progressively since they came on 14 years ago? Those are the ...
