Purkinje cell drawing by Santiago Ramón y Cajal circa 1899. Scientists at the annual 2014 Society for Neuroscience meeting (November 14-19) in Washington D.C. presented unpublished research that links ...

The cerebellum is instrumental in coordinating movement and refining motor control through intricate neuronal circuitry, with Purkinje cells serving as the central integrators of sensory inputs and ...

A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and worsening motor skills, including gait, balance and agility. While it is ...

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 ...

A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age‑related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and worsening motor skills, including gait, balance and agility. While it is ...

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 ...

Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have developed an organoid model of the human brain that generates granule cells and Purkinje neurons—two major cell types found in the human ...

Reduction in mitochondrial activity in multiple sclerosis contributes to Purkinje cell loss. Researchers at the University of California, Riverside (CA, USA) have demonstrated the role mitochondrial ...

Researchers have transplanted healthy mitochondria into brain cells and animal models of neurodegeneration, reporting ...
