Differential expression of TrkB isoforms switches climbing fiber-Purkinje cell synaptogenesis to selective synapse elimination.

30 Aug 2009 Correct neural function depends on precisely organized connectivity, which is refined from broader projections through synaptic/collateral elimination. In the rat, olivocerebellar topography is refined by regression of multiple climbing fiber (CF) ... Read more...

Injuries to inferior vermis and dentate nuclei predict poor neurological and neuropsychological outcome in children with malignant posterior fossa tumors.

13 Mar 2009 BACKGROUND: Children treated for a malignant posterior fossa tumor (PFT) are at risk of intellectual impairment. Its severity is not explained by age and radiotherapy alone. The current study was designed to define the correlations between the ... Read more...

Transient cerebellar mutism caused by bilateral damage to the dentate nuclei after the second posterior fossa surgery. Case report.

30 Jan 2006 The authors report on the case of a 6-year-old boy who underwent resection of a midline cerebellar tumor. The boy was able to speak fluently after the operation. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed that the right dentate nucleus had been ... Read more...
