Roles of Synaptic Plasticity in Functional Recovery After Brain Injury
Patients with brain injury or stroke suffer from sensory-motor disorder caused by the loss of function of damaged brain tissues. The goal of is to facilitate the recovery of the impaired sensory-motor functi...

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...

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...

Historical Overview: The Search for inhibitory neurons and their function
Even though inhibition had long been recognized as a distinct process in the nervous system (see Sherrington1), the discovery of inhibitory synapses had to wait until the middle of the 20th century. In mammalian ...

The molecular organization of cerebellar long-term depression
The elements of complex signal-transduction processes that underlie long-term depression (LTD) — a unique form of synaptic plasticity displayed by cerebellar ...

Corticotropin-Releasing Factor (CRF) and its Role in the Central Nervous System
Corticotropin-releasing factor, commonly termed CRF, was originally described as a neurohumoral factor in the hypothalamus-pituitary system that regulates the synthesis and secretion of adrenocorticotropic hor...

Chapter
Physiology of the Cerebellum
Voluminous data of classical studies performed in the last century through the early years of this century have been compiled in the monograph of Dow and Moruzzi [1]. In brief, Rolando (1809) disclosed the inv...

Functional Principles Implied in Neurological Symptoms
Characteristic symptoms of a neurological disease should reflect a specific mechanism with which brain tissues normally operate. One may hope that a rigorous analysis of such symptoms will easily reveal mechan...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Introduction
In this session, we go beyond molecular and cellular levels to neural levels of the brain. Neural tissues of the brain are essentially highly complex neuronal networks containing an enormous number of neurons ...

Einleitung
In dieser Sitzung begeben wir uns von der molekularen und zellulären Ebene auf die neurale Ebene des Gehirns. Neurale Hirngewebe sind im wesentlichen hochkomplexe neuronale Netze, die eine riesige Zahl von Neu...

How Can the Cerebellar Neuronal Network Mediate a Classically Conditioned Reflex?
In view of the remarkable possibility that the cerebellum is the site of the classically conditioned eyelid eye blink reflex, it would be interesting to speculate about how the currently known mechanisms of th...

Synaptic Plasticity Underlying the Cerebellar Motor Learning Investigated in Rabbit’s Flocculus
An old concept that the cerebellum is equipped with capabilities of motor learning has been substantiated by recent theoretical exploration of neuronal network models of the cerebellum and by experimental inve...
