According to the American Stroke Association, more than 795,000 Americans experience a stroke annually, with balance issues ...

The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggested that the cerebellum is necessary for the formation of new long-term, but not short-term, motor memories.

Toward the bottom of the brain are more primitive structures, including the cerebellum and brain stem. These also fulfill critical functions. Running through parts of the brain are a dozen pairs ...

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, Vol. 87, Issue. 4, p. 252. This book is concerned with the involvement of the cerebellum in learning and remembering the ability to carry out motor tasks such as walking ...

Dysfunctional neurons in the cerebellum, a brain region that controls motor functions, reduced REM sleep in mice.

The cerebellum is well-known for its roles in controlling motor coordination, motor learning, and balance. However, there is accumulating evidence that the cerebellum also participates in cognition ...

For decades, the cerebellum was primarily associated with motor coordination. "People with cerebellar abnormalities often experience motor issues," Van Overwalle explains. "For example ...
