The cerebellum has a long history in terms of research on its network structures and motor
functions, yet our understanding of them has further advanced in recent years owing to …

The well-organized cerebellar structures and neuronal networks are likely crucial for their
functions in motor coordination, motor learning, cognition and emotion. Such cerebellar …

Background Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most common cause
of familial and sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD). Elevated kinase activity is associated …

Shank2 is a multidomain scaffolding protein implicated in the structural and functional
