Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have developed an organoid model of the human brain that generates granule cells and Purkinje neurons—two major cell types found in the human ...

Previous studies have reported that the cerebellum, which is most well-known for coordinating the body’s movements, is also ...

Brain development in early life is thought to be more susceptible to injury than in the latter stages. Any insult at this stage can cause permanent injury resulting in disability, which is different ...

A brain region largely known for coordinating motor control has a largely overlooked role in childhood development that could reveal information crucial to understanding the onset of autism, according ...

Genetic maps of the development of cells in the cerebella of human, mouse and opossum shed light on ancestral and species-specific cellular and molecular characteristics of cerebellum development. The ...

The cerebellum is a key brain region for motor control and coordination and its microcircuitry is a much-studied system in neuroscience. For researchers interested in understanding how the mammalian ...

Researchers have, for the first time, described the pivotal changes responsible for controlling the formation of the part of the brain that allows us to learn and execute complex movements. These ...

In a first for USC Stem Cell scientists, the laboratory of Giorgia Quadrato has pioneered a novel human brain organoid model that generates all the major cell types of the cerebellum, a hindbrain ...

In a first for USC Stem Cell scientists, the laboratory of Giorgia Quadrato, an assistant professor of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, has pioneered a novel human brain organoid model ...

A new theory has been offered suggesting that an early-life injury to the cerebellum disrupts the brain's processing of external and internal information and leads to 'developmental diaschisis,' ...
