Elderly people can improve episodic memory via neurostimulation of the cerebellum, shows study

by BIAL Foundation Methods and tDCS montage. In (A), we show a schematic of the implementation of our experimental design, from participant selection to assessment and intervention; in (B), we show schematics of the two different tDCS montages; in (C), we show the electric field strength of a randomly selected healthy subject for two electrode montages...

Discovery of a new function of the cerebellum

by University of Basel The cerebellum (activation in red) communicates with various areas of the cerebrum (activations in green) to enhance storage of emotional information. Credit: MCN, University of Basel The cerebellum is known primarily for regulation of movement. Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered that the cerebellum also plays an important...

The role of the cerebellum in absence seizures

RUHR-UNIVERSITY BOCHUM IMAGE: MELANIE MARK FROM THE RUB BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH GROUP CREDIT: RUB, MARQUARD Stimulation of certain cerebellar areas could help combat absence seizures. However, what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the brain in this form of epilepsy and how exactly stimulation has an effect is not yet understood in detail....

Study shows mouse cerebellum quite different from human

by Bob Yirka , Medical Xpress An international team of researchers has found that the mouse cerebellum may not be a good model for the human cerebellum in brain studies. In their study published in the journal Science, the group describes their comparison study that involved the human, mice and macaque cerebellums as they developed....
