Joubert Syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder that affects the cerebellum and brain stem. It presents with a distinct respiratory pattern and profound tachypnea in the newborn period.

All families have their own quirks and habits, but one group of relatives has such a unique trait that scientists have ...

Your hindbrain includes your cerebellum, pons, and medulla oblongata. The cerebellum controls your movement, balance, posture, and some aspects of language and attention. The pons connects your ...

"The differences were largely within the posterior lobe, where a lot of the more cognitive functions attributed to the cerebellum seem to localize, as well as the vermis, which is linked to a lot of ...

The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggested that the cerebellum is necessary for the formation of new long-term, but not short-term, motor memories.

This work advances our understanding of the role of the cerebellum in sensorimotor learning and points towards the role of the cerebellum as a gateway to the formation of stable memories for ...

In the cerebellum, like in the hippocampus, glial transporters are responsible for the bulk of glutamate uptake, whereas the neuronal transporter EAAT4, which is found exclusively in Purkinje ...

Cerebellum Controls balance, co-ordination of movement and muscular activity. Medulla oblongata Controls unconscious activities such as heart rate and breathing rate. Hypothalamus Regulates ...

The striking hyperpnea in infants with Joubert syndrome sets it apart from other conditions and often leads to a misdiagnosis of TTNB. Any infant in the newborn period who exhibits excessive ...
