Cerebellum is responsible to higher cognitive functions and delicate motor activity. Because of its significance, cerebellum may play a major role in cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric diseases. Therefore, the investigations on cerebellum may be contributed to the future researches so as to solve reasons of the diseases. The rabbit brain relatively larger than the rat and mouse brain and the individual evaluation of its subdivisions are rather easy. There are no data on cerebellar volume of rabbits in literature. Thus, the study presents microscopic volume calculation of rabbits' cerebellum using the stereological method. The mean (SD) calculated volume of the cerebellum in the rabbit brain was found to be 0.69 (0.03) cm3. The individual microscopic volume estimation of an animal subject can be achieved by Cavalier method. Researchers believed that the findings and the applied method in this study may be useful for the scientists.

Oxycodone is widely used for pain management and acts via binding to mu- and kappa opioid receptors. It was shown that extended oxycodone usage can result from the demyelination and degeneration of neurons through the stress response, which triggers apoptotic signaling pathways. The striatum and cerebellum are recognized as significant contributors to addiction; however, there is no report on the effect of oxycodone on the cerebellum and striatum and motor coordination.

Mercury chloride (ME) is a chemical pollutant commonly found in the environment, which can contribute to undesirable health consequence worldwide. The current study investigated the detrimental impact of ME on the cerebellum and spinal cord tissues in 6-8-week-old female rats. We also evaluated the neuroprotective efficacy of β-caryophyllene (BC) against spinal and cerebellar changes caused by ME.

Cerebellar ataxia (CA) is a condition in which cerebellar dysfunction results in movement disorders such as dysmetria, synergy and dysdiadochokinesia. This study investigates the therapeutic effects of elderberry (EB) diet on the 3-acetylpyridine-induced (3-AP) CA rat model. First, CA rat models were generated by 3-AP administration followed by elderberry diet treatment containing 2 % EB for 8 consecutive weeks.

Introduction: Schizophrenia is a severe psychotic brain disorder. One of the potential mechanisms underlying this disease may be volumetric changes in some brain regions. The present study aimed to employ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to estimate and quantitatively analyze the brain of patients with schizophrenia compared to the controls.
