Abstract

The cerebellum is an encephalic region classically known for its central role in the control of movement, although recent research has revealed its involvement in other cognitive and affective tasks. Several different pathologies are known to affect this structure, causing a wide range of behavioral and gait impairments. Intriguingly, although the neurodegenerative factors affect all Purkinje cells of the cerebellum uniformly, certain neurodegeneration patterns can be distinguished, in which some Purkinje cells persist longer than other cell types. Precisely, there is a cerebellar region, lobe X, which is more resistant to different types of neurodegeneration regardless of the injury. This work will review the main models of cerebellar degeneration, with special emphasis on this region, and aims to reveal a common origin for its resistance to neuronal death.
