The evolution of higher cognitive functions in humans has so far mostly been linked to the expansion of the neocortex. Researchers are increasingly realizing, however, that the 'little brain' or ...
This early 20th-century anatomical illustration of the human brain (from below) shows the left and right hemispheres of both the cerebellum and cerebrum. "Cerebellar" is the sister word to "cerebral" ...
The evolution of higher cognitive functions in human beings has so far mostly been linked to the expansion of the neocortex – a region of the brain that is responsible, inter alia, for conscious ...
People with PTSD have a cerebellum about 2% smaller than unaffected adults, especially in areas that influence emotion and memory DURHAM, N.C. – Adults with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have ...
In recent decades, neuroscience has seen some stunning advances, and yet a critical part of the brain remains a mystery. I am referring to the cerebellum, so named for the Latin for “little brain,” ...
Genetic maps of the development of cells in the cerebella of human, mouse and opossum shed light on ancestral and species-specific cellular and molecular characteristics of cerebellum development. The ...
The cerebellum, indicated by pointer, is the brain within the brain or the tiny brain. It contains half of the brain's neurons, tightly packed. DURHAM, N.C. – Adults with posttraumatic stress disorder ...
