Cerebellar Cerebro-Cortical Circuits

Caption

The illustration shows cerebellar cerebro-cortical circuits mediating autism spectrum disorder-relevant behaviors; specifically, modulation of Rcrus1 influences social behavior while modulation of the posterior vermis impacts repetitive behaviors and behavioral flexibility. UTSW researchers reported these findings in a recent study in Nature Neuroscience.
