Cerebellar plasticity
Jan-Willem Potters studied the role of the cerebellum in different aspects of behavior, ranging from simple reflex-like movements to complex systems such as emotion and cognition, and wrote about it in this blog post.
Cells roles in motor performance
Maria Fernanda Vinueza Veloz and her colleagues also investigated specific neurons and their different roles in motor performance. In their study Purkinje cells, interneurons, and granule cells where the focus. Read more in this blog post.
Cerebellar plaques and ataxia
Diego Sepulveda-Falla and his colleagues worked together with 25 families from Colombia with a high prevalence of familial Alzheimer’s (FAD) that was caused by a mutation in the presenile1 (PS1) gene. Read more.
