Around the same time, several other labs reported similar reward-related signals lighting up the cerebellums of animals carrying out different types of behavioral ... a slice of the cerebellum will ...

Cerebellar ataxia is a neurological disorder of the cerebellum. This important area at the back of the brain acts as a conductor, so to speak, coordinating our movements and keeping us in balance.

The study, published in Cell, describes the tool ... the authors "tagged" the electrical activity for each cerebellar neuron type. Using these electrical signatures, they trained their deep ...

thereby targeting the vulnerable cerebellar granule cells that lack compensatory pathways. Alternatively, increased proteolytic events may be more deleterious in some cell types compared with others.
