Development of a functional atlas of the human cerebellum The human cerebellum is a brain region that is activated during many behaviours, including movement, language and cognitive tasks. However, the cerebellum’s contribution to these processes remained poorly understood because of a lack of a comprehensive functional map of this brain region. To address this, Caroline… Read more: Brain Star Award Feature: Caroline Nettekoven, Western University - CAN Connection – Summer 2025We invite you to read our latest newsletter! Content:
- Brain Star Award feature: Lizheng Wang, University of CalgaryUncovering the role of cilia in astrocyte development and function Astrocytes are a type of cells that act as crucial regulators of nearly all aspects of the brain. Different types of astrocytes exist; however, little is known about how different subtypes of astrocytes are created during development to differentially support their local neural circuits. Lizheng… Read more: Brain Star Award feature: Lizheng Wang, University of Calgary
