The results of Clark et al. 1 are unexpected, because it is known that the cerebellar parts that show the most pronounced growth in evolution are linked to the neocortex and that, congruently, the ...

If you reward a monkey with some juice, it will learn which hand to move in response to a specific visual cue – but only if the cerebellum is functioning properly. So say neuroscientists at the ...

Cerebellar ataxia results from dysfunction of the cerebellum, which is part of the brain that helps regulate and control movement and balance. People may experience changes in gait, speech, and eye ...
