The cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") accounts for only about 10 percent of whole-brain volume but houses roughly 75 percent of the brain's total neurons. Cerebellar is the sister word to cerebral ...

The cerebellum, contrary to what was thought, fulfils functions that go beyond the motor sphere and can be co-responsible for the brain alterations associated with addictive consumption of drugs, ...

In a serendipitous discovery, neuroscientists at Stanford University recently stumbled on previously unknown cognitive functions of the cerebellum. In a series of complex mice experiments using ...
