Cerebellum - Radionuclide imaging
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Cerebellum'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. Common names: Cerebellum; Cerebellums |

Functional brain areas associated with manipulation of a prehensile tool: a PET study.
30 Aug 2009 
Using PET, brain areas representing the use of a well-learned tool (chopsticks) were investigated in 10 normal common users. The experimental task was to hold the tool in their right hand and use it to pick up and transport a small pin from a table. ... Read more...
Age dependency of cerebral P-gp function measured with (R)-[11C]verapamil and PET.
3 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the influence of age on the functional activity of the multidrug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) at the human blood-brain barrier. METHODS: Seven young (mean age: 27 +/- 4 years) and six elderly ... Read more...
Cerebellothalamocortical connectivity regulates penetrance in dystonia.
3 Aug 2009 Dystonia is a brain disorder characterized by sustained involuntary muscle contractions. It is typically inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetrance. While lacking clear degenerative neuropathology, primary dystonia is ... Read more...
