for years, the role of cerebellum was believed to be limited to motor functions. only since almost two decades ago, a new concept about cerebellum and its contribution to non-motor functions including cognition and emotion started to emerged. during the recent years, numerous studies have focused on the cerebellar non-motor functions with their results providing supportive evidence on this view...

central nervous system atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor during infancy is a rare, highly aggressive tumor most commonly seen in the cerebellar area. herein we describe the case of a 4-month-old baby who presented with convulsions. pathologic examination of her cerebellar mass showed an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor. the patient died 5 days after surgery despite complete excision of the mass ...

In spite of the existing reports on behavioural and biochemical changes related to the cerebellum due to noise stress, not much is known about the effect of noise stress on the neuronal changes in the cerebellum. The present study aims at investigating the effects from one week noise exposure on granule cell number and Purkinje cell volume within the neonate rat cerebellum.15-day-old male Wista...

Richard F. Thompson’s cerebellar model of classical eyeblink conditioning highlights Purkinje cells in cerebellar cortex and principal cells in the deep cerebellar nucleus as the integrating cells for acquisition of conditioned responses (CRs). CR acquisition is significantly slower in rabbits with lesions to cerebellar cortex and in Purkinje cell-deficient mice that lose all cerebellar cortica...
