Abstract excerpt
New emphasis has been placed upon cerebellar research because of recent reports demonstrating involvement of the cerebellum in non-motor cognitive behaviors.

In this study, we explore the potential role of the cerebellum in spatial working memory using a mouse model of Purkinje cell loss. Specifically, we...
