Purkinje cells were discovered by Jan Evangelista Purkyně in 1839 and famously illustrated by Santiago Ramón y Cajal in 1899. This Ramón y Cajal drawing shows cerebellar Purkinje cells (A) and granule ...

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 ...

Researchers identify a specialized "satellite" language network in the cerebellum, offering new insights into how the brain processes communication and potential treatments for aphasia.

Previous studies have reported that the cerebellum, which is most well-known for coordinating the body’s movements, is also involved in language. However, scientists still don’t know whether the ...

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 ...

The evolution of higher cognitive functions in humans has so far mostly been linked to the expansion of the neocortex. Researchers are increasingly realizing, however, that the 'little brain' or ...

When a 22-year-old college student turned up at a hospital after falling on ice and hitting her head, doctors conducted a CT scan that revealed a surprise: a tumor in her cerebellum, the fist-size ...

Scientists have developed a novel human brain organoid model that generates all the major cell types of the cerebellum, a hindbrain region predominantly made up of two cell types necessary for ...
