Cerebellum contributes to higher cognitive functions: Study
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], June 19 (ANI): A research study explains how dopamine in the cerebellum modulates social behaviours via its action on D2 receptors (D2R). The cerebellum is essential for but also contributes to higher cognitive functions including social behaviours.
