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...

Cerebellar injury in term infants: clinical characteristics, magnetic resonance imaging findings, and outcome.

29 Jun 2009 Although cerebellar injury in the premature infant is an increasingly recognized form of neonatal brain injury, its structural and functional outcomes remain poorly defined in the term infant. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to ... Read more...

Acute and critical care management of a pediatric patient with medullo-cerebellar impaling.

26 Jun 2009 The authors present a child with an accidental cervical medullo-cerebellar impaling by an aluminum rod. Careful planning for safe removal of the rod as well as vigilant attention to early cardiac instability and flash neurogenic pulmonary edema were ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Cerebellum'

Definition: The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills.
