Essentials of Cerebellum and Cerebellar Disorders (PDF)

Research activities span from basic science approaches in animal models to clinical investigations with special focus on cerebellar function and pathology. Dr. Molinari is author of over 250 articles published in indexed journals. He is Review Editor of The Cerebellum. His cerebellar research activity has been focused on cerebellar role in cognition and theories on cerebellar operational modalities. Dr. Molinari served as member in several European grant review panels.

He obtained a PhD from Zhejiang University and completed postdoctoral training at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is a member of NSFC grant review panels and has served as editorial board member of several scientific journals. His primary research interests are on cerebellar regulation on motor and mental diseases and cellular and circuitry mechanisms.



Noriyuki Koibuchi, MD, PhD. Is a Professor of Department of Integrative Physiology, Gunma University Graduate School of Medicine. He obtained MD. and PhD. from Gunma Universtiy, followed by postdoctoral training at the Rockefeller University, New York. He has been serving as a Secretary General of The Society for Research on the Cerebellum and Ataxias. He is an Associate Editor of The Cerebellum and Frontiers in Endocrinology.

Jeremy D. Schmahmann, MD, FAAN, FANA, FANPA is Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, and at the Massachusetts General Hospital he is a Senior Clinical Neurologist,Founding Director of the Ataxia Center, Director of the Laboratory for Neuroanatomy and Cerebellar Neurobiology, and a founding member of the Cognitive Behavioral Neurology Unit. He graduated with distinction from the University of Cape Town Medical School, and completed Postdoctoral Fellowship in neuroanatomy with Professor Deepak Pandya at the Boston University School of Medicine. Dr. Schmahmann is a member of the National Ataxia Foundation Medical and Scientific Research Advisory Board, executive member of the Society for Research on the Cerebellum and Ataxias, and a member of the Clinical Research Consortium for the Study of Cerebellar Ataxia, the Ataxia Global Initiative, and the Global Multiple System Atrophy Working Group. Dr. Schmahmann's clinical and research programs played a pioneering role in discovering the contribution of the cerebellum to neuropsychiatry, and to elucidating the cerebral and cerebellar substrates of movement, cognition and emotion.
