Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Now is an exciting time to study the cerebellum. This part of the brain has always attracted attention because of its crystal-like anatomical organization, in addition to its well-defined cellular composition and circuit wiring, as well as its role in motor coordination and motor learning. However, recent technological developments—such as optogenetics and single-cell transcriptomics—have yielded dramatic increases in our understanding of the cellular elements, circuit properties, and behavioral functions of the cerebellum. This Special Issue aims to highlight some important recent discoveries and to help identify the next generation of questions about cerebellar organization and function.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
