Abstract excerpt
The cerebellum is crucial for sensorimotor coordination. The cerebellar architecture not only requires proper development but also long-term integrity to ensure accurate functioning. Developmental defects such as impaired neuronal migration or neurodegeneration are thus detrimental to the cerebellum and can result in movement disorders including ataxias. In this study, we identify FBXO41 as a novel CNS-specific...
