Hypergravity induced disruption of cerebellar motor coordination

The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements for balanced motor activity in a normal gravity condition. It remains unknown how hypergravity is associated with cerebellum-dependent motor behaviors and Purkinje cell’s activities. In order to investigate the relationship between gravity and cerebellar physiology, we measured AMPA-mediated fast currents and mGluR1-mediated slow currents of cerebellar Purkinje cells along with cerebellum-dependent...
