Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The cerebellum is a highly organized brain structure that is well known for its roles in motor coordination and learning. More recently, the cerebellum has also been implicated in cognitive function. Detailed understanding of the anatomical and physiological properties of cerebellar neurons, dating back over centuries, has greatly contributed to our understanding of how the cerebellum processes information and contributes to behavior. However, recent applications of single-cell physiology, optogenetics and transcriptomics make clear that there is still much to be learned about the cellular composition of the cerebellum and the circuits that cerebellar neurons form. This Special Issue focuses on novel insights into the cellular and circuit organization of the cerebellum, to advance our understanding of cerebellar function in health and disease.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
