Happy that @virginiatech.bsky.social & @childrensnational.bsky.social are supporting our research on the cerebellum in Down syndrome.

We believe that understanding cerebellar function will open up therapeutic avenues to improve movement in people with Down syndrome.

The illness linked to cannibalism is Kuru, a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) and presents w/:
*Loss of coordination & balance, resulting frm cerebellar dysfunction.
*Tremors
*Difficulty speaking, frm muscle weakness or incoordination.
*Progressive Dementia

And as a bonus #Caturday, a few of my disabled kitties (other than Seal)
Tangerine, ~10 weeks old, sitting pretty for her picture. She has cerebellar hypoplasia, which means her cerebellum (the part of the brain that controls balance) is underdeveloped, leading to her always walking like she's drunk (also known as wobbly cat syndrome) Felecia, an old lady with failing eyesight and likely hard of hearing. I have no idea how old she is, but she's definitely up there Eyeless Jack because--you guessed it--he's eyeless. Dunno what happened to him, I'm assuming they were surgically removed, but yeah, someone left an eyeless kitten outside my door Kodiak--completely deaf, as are many white cats with blue eyes

Cerebellar Hypoplasia can lead to wobbling, shaking, and falling over. Three cats living with this condition became adoptive brothers with the same loving family.

The lesion has hypointense thickened cerebellar folia giving it a striated appearance. The cerebellar folia are hyperintense on the axial T2 MRI (below). The lesion did not enhance.

The diagnosis was Lhermitte-Duclos disease.

Research projects in synergy with the lab’s research strengths (e.g., advanced microscopy, understanding of the role of cerebellar Fañanas cells, or astrocytic calcium signaling) are especially encouraged.

In myoclonus–dystonia (SGCE), impaired convergence—with preserved divergence—provides a clean, pathway‑specific signature of dorsal vermis Purkinje cell dysfunction, offering a simple oculomotor clue to cerebellar involvement. https://loom.ly/yyip2ZQ

I have eye issues associated with my cerebellar ataxia. My eyes can't follow a moving object between 2 points accurately, the muscles are weak & lack control. This is called abnormal saccades, & exercises to try and slow its advance often don't work.
This+poor balance=falls.

We find that human Bergmann glia emerge far earlier than previously appreciated (~11PCW) and actively scaffold migration of both granule and Purkinje cells, revising a decades-old model of cerebellar development.

Esther Becker, Simone Mayer and @lenakutscher.bsky.social teamed up to summarise current approaches for generating #cerebellar #organoids and advocate for the establishment of rigorous quality control standards to ensure reproducible, high-quality research.

Read doi.org/10.1242/dmm....
The figure shows the key features of human cerebellar patterning and gene expression. Panel A: The midbrain –hindbrain boundary is set at ∼4-5 post-conception weeks. The isthmic organizer secretes the morphogens to set the boundary. Panel B: around 10 weeks post conception, two progenitor pools are specified, including the ventricular zone, which generates all inhibitory neurons and glial cells, and the rhombic lip, which generates all excitatory neurons. The external granule layer is a second germinal zone producing the abundant excitatory granule neurons of the cerebellum. Panel C: at later stages in development, the cerebellum becomes highly foliated and adopts its characteristic three-layer structure. Panel D: major cell types of the mature cerebellum include Purkinje cells, granule cells, unipolar brush cells, GABAergic interneurons and cerebellar nuclei.

Language areas in the cerebellar mapped by @coltoncasto.bsky.social: www.thetransmitter.org/language/cer...
Very consistent with @carobellum.bsky.social functional atlas, but providing deeper details. By now the "terra incognita" of the cerebellum isn't so "incognita" anymore!
Cerebellum responds to language like cortical areas
One of four language-responsive cerebellar regions may encode meaningful information, much like the cortical language network in the left hemisphere, according to a new study.
