          Researchers Described How the Cerebellum Modulates Our Ability to Socialize

          Dopamine in the cerebellum helps regulate social behaviors via its action on D2 receptors. Changes in D2 levels in Purkinje cells alter sociability and preference for social novelty without affecting motor function.

          Cell Structure Previously Associated With Disease Actually Improves Brain Function

          Axonal swelling in the Purkinje cells of mice had no detrimental impact on firing rate or the speed at which axons transmit signals. At peak firing rate, axons with swellings were less likely to fail than those without.

          Acute cerebellar inflammation and hyperexcitability induces ‘depression-like’ behavior

          Acute inflammation of the anterior cerebellum resulted in depression-like symptoms in rodent models. Suppressing microglia helped reduce hyperexcitability and symptoms of depression.
