The cerebellum underwent evolutionary changes that may have contributed to the development of language, culture, and tool use in humans, a new study reveals. Read More
The effects of intoxication, such as slurred speech and poor coordination, are a result of the breakdown of alcohol products in the brain and not the liver. Read More
Researchers found functional and anatomical differences in the brains of people who are more likely to embark on risky behaviors. Read More
MRI technology helps researchers identify specific brain activity during different stages of sleep. Read More
Study sheds light on the brain chemistry involved in attention loss when a person drinks alcohol. Read More
A new analysis shows the distribution of fluctuation within the cerebellum neural network follows the same progression of distribution of matter in the cosmic web. Read More
Disrupted cannabinoid signaling impairs learning by altering behavioral states. Read More
High resolution imaging reveals the human cerebellum is 80% of the area of the cortex. The findings indicate this area of the brain likely grew larger as human behavior and cognition evolved. Read More
Cortical thickness and regional brain connectivity pay an equally important role in linking brain and behavior. Read More
Tufts researchers have developed neurotransmitter-lipid hybrids that help transport therapeutic drugs and gene editing proteins across the blood-brain barrier in mice. Read More
Mouse study pinpoints the precise location in the brain where distracting stimuli are blocked, allowing for concentration on specific tasks. The findings could have implications for the treatment of ADHD and schizophrenia. Read More
Using robotics, researchers uncover mechanisms in the cerebellum and spinal cord that determine how the nervous system responds to induced changes in step length. The findings could have implications for physical rehabilitation programs for people with movement disorders. Read More
