Title: Orchestration of Behavior by the Olivocerebellar System.

Sessions

There will be three sessions, each taking 1 hour.

Session 1
Relevance of the cerebellum in the clinical setting

The first session will focus on the cerebellum in a clinical setting and cerebellar function underlying disease.


Aleksandra Badura (Erasmus MC)
"The role of cerebellum in autism: what can we learn from monogenic murine autism models?"


Stacha Reumers (Radboud UMC)
"The cerebellum and cognition: impairment following cerebellar stroke"


Stefanie Keulen (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)
"The linguistic cerebellum: the cerebellum as a target site for language intervention"

Session 2
Progress in cerebellar research techniques

The second session will discuss the new developments in the techniques for cerebellar research with a focus on non-invasive methods in humans, such as EEG, MEG, sMRI, fMRI and brain stimulation.


Jana Klaus (Utrecht University)
"Measuring cerebellar signals using EEG and MEG"


Wietske van der Zwaag (Spinoza Centre for Neuroimaging)
"Structural and functional imaging of the human cerebellum in-vivo using 7T MRI"


Roderick Maas (Radboud UMC)
"Simulation of stimulation: electric field modelling in the healthy and diseased cerebellum"

Session 3
Fundamental cerebellar research

The third session will focus on fundamental cerebellar research and the link between molecular mechanisms and behavior.


Freek Hoebeek (UMC Utrecht)
"The developing cerebello-thalamic connection in health and disease"


Wietske Zuiderbaan (Spinoza Centre for Neuroimaging)
"Topographic connectivity in the cerebellum for different cognitive states"


Neville Magielse (Forschungzentrum Jülich, Max Planck Institute Leipzig)
"The cerebellum as part of the brain: learning from primate evolution, human development, and large-scale meta-analysis"
