For the first time, a team of researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National ...

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 ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 116, No. 10 (March 5, 2019), pp. 4661-4670 (10 pages) The development of the cerebellum depends on intricate ...

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 ...

From before birth through childhood, connections form between neurons in the brain, ultimately making us who we are. So far, scientists have gained a relatively good understanding of how neural ...

The mammalian cerebellum is key to motor control and contributes to many of the higher brain functions. Scientists have now decoded the genetic programs that control the development of cerebellar cell ...

The image shows how the cerebellum (white) send its projections across the brain of a newborn mouse. A wide network of ...

My late father, Richard Bergland, M.D. (1932-2007) published The Fabric of Mind in 1986. For the book cover, dad insisted on a sagittal plane view; he liked how this vantage point elucidates major ...

The cerebellum facilitates associative learning—wherein visual information is linked to motor actions—by strengthening ...

A central theme of my blog ‘Mind Shift’ and also of my book of the same name, is that human consciousness, although having many similarities to the consciousness of other species, also has some very ...
