The flocculus of cerebellum inhibits the vestibular nuclei and keeps the eyes steady during downward gaze. Disinhibition of the flocculus leads to slow upward drift of the eyes, followed by corrective ...

When the team examined the brains of people with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, they found that the flocculus and paraflocculus are smaller, similar to what they observed in mice.

Misshapen skull removes cerebellum’s checks and balances Zakharenko’s team studied the flocculus and paraflocculus’ role in the brain to better understand how their malformation could influence ...

A gene that causes skull malformation when mutated has just been linked to schizophrenia, a condition known for causing unsettling hallucinations and disordered thinking.

The reduction of the flocculus and paraflocculus was validated through magnetic resonance imaging studies of dozens of patients with 22q and a comparative control group.

Our study also presents novel evidence of cholinergic topography involved in dynamic balance and gait in Parkinson’s disease that have not been typically associated with mobility disturbances, such as ...

It was another exciting episode of The Chase this week, as the ITV hit show presenter Bradley Walsh welcomed contestants Gary, Damon, Sarah and Emma to take on Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan in a series ...

The cerebellar flocculus is supplied by the anterior inferior cerebellar artery. Most commonly, PICA infarcts affect the lateral medulla dorsally up to the inferior olive, an area that is traversed by ...

It found that the dinosaur’s brain was similar to those of its close relatives, and particularly, its flocculus – an evolutionary old part of the brain – was small.

Reanalyzing fossils can often lead to new discoveries, as has been the case with a study of an 80 million-year-old Late Cretaceous Struthiosaurus austriacus skull. A new analysis reveals the dinosaur ...

Fossil Braincase Provides Surprising New Insights Researchers from Germany and Austria examined the braincase of the Struthiosaurus austriacus, a nodosaurid dinosaur, using micro-CT scans. They ...
