    Consensus Paper: The Cerebellum's Role in Movement and Cognition

    While the cerebellum's role in motor function is well recognized, the nature of its concurrent role in cognitive function remains considerably less clear. The current consensus paper gathers diverse views on a...

    Evolutionarily conserved bias of amino-acid usage refines the definition of PDZ-binding motif

    The interactions between PDZ (PSD-95, Dlg, ZO-1) domains and PDZ-binding motifs play central roles in signal transductions within cells. Proteins with PDZ domains bind to PDZ-binding motifs almost exclusively ...

    Control of mental activities by internal models in the cerebellum

    In recent years the role of the cerebellum in the control of non-motor functions has been acknowledged. Here, Ito elaborates on his hypothesis of internal-model control of mental functions and describes recent...

    Specific differential expression of phospholipase A2 subtypes in rat cerebellum

    Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is a family of enzymes playing diverse roles in lipid signaling in neurons and glia cells. In this study, we examined the expression of subtypes of PLA2 in the cerebellum using immunolabel...

    Internal model visualized

    How can we instantly recognize a familiar object? Probably because the brain already contains a model of that object. Such ‘internal’ models have been invoked in hel** to control many of the brain's cognitiv...

    Neuroscience of the mechanisms of mind and behavior

    Reflexes, compound movements, and innate behavior are basic neural functions in lower vertebrates, and are executed by the spinal cord and brain stem. These functions are made goal-oriented by the limbic syste...

    Destruction of inferior olive induces rapid depression in synaptic action of cerebellar Purkinje cells

    THE climbing fibre afferents (CFAs) are a structure unique to the cerebellar cortex; they originate, presumably solely, from the inferior olive (IO) and make an extensive, excitatory synaptic contact with dend...
