These links with autism highlight another unique quality of the cerebellum: its sensitivity during development. Unlike the cerebral cortex, which seems to be able to adapt quite well to ...

Summary: New research reveals that serotonin in the cerebellum plays a crucial role in anxiety regulation. Scientists found ...

Understanding the neural circuits that drive anxiety may help researchers discover circuit-specific targets and therefore ...

Mary Morrison came to Lycoming College in 2004 from the Scripps Research Institute. Her research group studies the development of the cerebellum, a brain region responsible for balance and ...

the research group is committed to further development, seeing its potential for wide-scale application in the future. This ...

Serotonin in the cerebellum alleviates anxiety-like behavior in mice, which counters the previously accepted role of serotonin in anxiety and may point to new treatment strategies.

Dr. Sillitoe has a long standing interest in using the cerebellar branch of the motor system as a model for understanding brain development and disease. The cerebellum is well-known for its roles in ...
