Although the prevailing wisdom among neuroscientists is that Purkinje cells have just one primary dendrite that connects with a single climbing fiber from the brain stem, new research shows that ...

In a first for USC Stem Cell scientists, the laboratory of Giorgia Quadrato, an assistant professor of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, has pioneered a novel human brain organoid model ...

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 ...

Difference b/w Cerebrum and Cerebellum: The human brain acts as the body’s control centre. It lets us think, learn, speak, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In recent decades, neuroscience has seen some stunning advances, and yet a critical part of the brain remains a mystery. I am referring ...

Because the cerebellum has long been known for coordinating the timing and precision of fluid muscle movements, it was important for me to position cerebellar motor functions as a central player when ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that without the cerebral cortex, consciousness could not exist. New research, however, has found that humans and animals ...

In 1906, Spanish scientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal won the Nobel Prize for his pioneering studies of the microscopic structures of the brain. His famous drawings of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum ...
