Two Types of Neurons in Cerebellum Influence Motor and Social Behaviors
Researchers reveal distinct roles for two types of neurons in the cerebellum. The study offers compelling in vivo evidence that a specific group of excitatory glutamatergic neurons plays a key role in acquiring motor and sensory/emotional behaviors.
Additionally, the study demonstrates that neurons located in different regions of the cerebellum differently contribute to motor and non-motor behaviors during development and adulthood.
