Cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease research have mostly looked at other parts of the brain, leaving the cerebellum's role in cognition and mood during aging comparatively unexplored.

This notice funds basic human and animal-model studies, plus secondary analyses of data aging and Alzheimer's studies have already collected, aimed at the cerebellum's physiology and neuroanatomy in cognitive …
