Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of common variants associated with neurological and psychiatric disorders. Most of these variants are found in noncoding regions of the ...

Essential tremor (ET) is the most prevalent movement disorder with poorly understood etiology. Some neuroimaging studies report cerebellar involvement whereas others do not. This discrepancy may stem ...

IT is the purpose of this report to summarize an investigation into the effects of thalamic surgery on incapacitating intention tremor. During the course of an experience with basal-ganglion ...

Researchers at Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute find activity in more easily accessible Purkinje cells in ...

A new study upends movement disorder research, proving Purkinje cells are a poor biomarker for deep cerebellar nuclei.

A new finding by a Virginia Tech neuroscientist at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC is challenging the way ...

A recent study found that the way cerebellar neurons communicate with other brain regions is different in various movement disorders. The cerebellum is a region of the brain that helps us refine our ...

The source of essential tremor—a movement disorder that causes involuntary trembling of the hands, arms, and head—has been enigmatic, impeding the development of effective treatments for a condition ...

The cerebellum is a region of the brain that helps us refine our movements and learn new motor skills. Patients and mouse models experience many kinds of abnormal movements when their cerebellum is ...
