The anatomy of the CEREBELLUM is ferociously complex, though quite well understood. It is composed of an outer layer of GREY MATTER (making up the CEREBELLAR CORTEX), an inner core of WHITE MATTER and three pairs of DEEP CEREBELLAR NUCLEI: the...

The largest structure of the HINDBRAIN, involved in MOTOR CONTROL and LEARNING. Although its simple neuronal circuitry has made it a popular target of anatomists, neurologists such as Gordon Holmes (1876–1966) have emphasized the motor deficits...

The cerebellum, which is Latin for "little brain," is located in the posterior region of the skull. In the human brain, the cerebellum occupies a place partially tucked under the forebrain's cerebral hemispheres. The cerebellum is extensively folded...

The cerebellum, which is Latin for "little brain," is located at the back of the head. In the human brain it is the second-largest part, occupying a place partially tucked under the forebrain's cerebral hemispheres. In birds, it is the largest part, in...

The cerebellum (Latin: "little brain") is a region of the brain that plays an important role in the integration of sensory perception and motor control. In order to coordinate motor control, there are many neural pathways linking the cerebellum with the...

A flaw discovered deep within the brains of people with autism may help explain the bizarre behavior associated with this baffling disorder, researchers report. The abnormality is underdevelopment of the part of the brain called the cerebellum. This butterfly-shaped structure, which lies at...
