This is of particular importance when considering the cranial vault. The concept of CDT for occlusive cerebral sinus venous disease is not novel, and for ill patients, salvage therapy has shown some ...

In this study, Daniel et al. used three cognitive tasks to investigate behavioural signatures of cerebellar degeneration. In the first two tasks, the authors found that if an equation was incorrect, ...

the researchers recorded the activity of P-cells in a cerebellar structure called the vermis. When a P-cell was suppressed during protraction, the tongue’s trajectory became hypermetric ...

All patients had some combination of cerebellar syndrome and parkinsonism, poorly responding to levodopa; autonomic failure, wherein systolic blood pressure dropped ≥ 30 mm Hg within 3 minutes ...

The resulting map demonstrates activations in nine of the twelve regions identified in the present study—including the right cerebellum, cerebellar vermis, pontine tegmentum ... Alternatively, the ...

Moreover, results survived covariation with each group's distinctive atrophy pattern. These outcomes illuminate the critical role of the cerebellum in non-motor processes, while highlighting the ...
