Our cerebellar nuclei turn out to be more important than initially thought
Associative learning was always thought to be regulated by the cortex of the cerebellum, often referred to as the “little brain”. However, new research from a collaboration between the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, Erasmus MC, and Champalimaud Center for the Unknown reveals that actually the nuclei of the cerebellum make a surprising contribution to this […]
Excessive drinking can be a medically harmless habit, but it can also indicate a rare hormone disorder. Several tests for reliable diagnosis have been examined in the past, but now a new study shows that a saline infusion stimulation test has the highest reliability. Julie Refardt, an internist-endocrinologist and staff member of the Department of […]

Erasmus MC staff are teaming up with researchers from EUR and TU Delft to work on sustainable care. Within three research programmes, they are committed to sustainable operating rooms, endoscopy and innovation for nurses.
World first: robot-assisted lung cancer surgery with augmented reality
Surgeons at Erasmus MC have achieved a world-first by successfully removing a lung tumor with the assistance of augmented reality during a robot-assisted surgery. This technique allows for the projection of virtual images of the tumor, blood vessels, and airways onto the lung during surgery. ‘Augmented reality enables us to navigate more safely and effectively.’
Five Erasmus MC fellows announced at Lof der Geneeskunst
Four researchers and one lecturer were awarded fellowships at Lof der Geneeskunst. Dean and Executive Board chairman Stefan Sleijfer: ‘We award these fellowships because we will always stay curious and want to discover new things.’
