In neuropsychology, dysmetria (literally meaning wrong length) is a specific kind of ataxia (loss of control of motor movements) where a patient cannot properly carry out an intended motor movement, ...

In neuroscience and neuropsychology, the cerebellum has traditionally been recognized for its essential role in motor coordination. However, a growing body ...

Chiari malformation, an anomaly of the posterior cranial fossa, also known as Arnold–Chiari malformation, was described in autopsies by Hans Chiari, an Austrian pathologist, in 1891. He defined four ...

Cerebellar Mutism Syndrome (CMS) is a complex neurobehavioural disorder primarily affecting children following surgical resection of posterior fossa tumours. Characterised by transient loss or severe ...

Could an anomaly in the developing brain explain motor difficulties occurring decades later in people with rare movement disorders? These are the genetics being investigated by researchers at ...

Background Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology, manifesting as combination of parkinsonism, cerebellar syndrome and dysautonomia.

Physical fitness since childhood is associated with cerebellar grey matter volume in adolescents. Those who were stronger, faster and more agile, in other words, had better neuromuscular fitness since ...

Joubert syndrome is a rare genetic condition that causes underdevelopment in a part of the brain called the cerebellar vermis and malformation of the brainstem. The cerebellar vermis coordinates ...

Associative learning was always thought to be regulated by the cortex of the cerebellum, often referred to as the "little brain". However, new research from a collaboration between the Netherlands ...

Dandy-Walker syndrome can cause balance issues and difficulty controlling movements. It’s characterized by a small cerebellum and excess fluid in the space near the cerebellum. Dandy-Walker syndrome ...
