My Research


For those who are interested in my research. This is basically the brain-area that I will be working on. The cerebellum is the smaller "blob" at the lower back of the brain and consists of many small lobes. The cellular structure is known but the interactions between the Purkinje cells, climbing fibers, parallel fibers, mossy fibers and interneurons is still a great mystery. We dedicate our time trying to unfold this mystery. The function of this part of the brain is to combine the information from the eyes and the vestibular organ in order to provide us with balance and a sense of orientation.
