Making predictions and validating the predictions against actual sensory information is
thought to be one of the most fundamental functions of the nervous system. A growing body …

The role of the cerebellum in motor control and learning has been largely inferred from the
effects of cerebellar damage. Recent work shows that cerebellar damage produces greater …

Over the past 30 years, cumulative evidence has indicated that cerebellar function extends
beyond sensorimotor control. This view has emerged from studies of neuroanatomy …

While classical views of cerebellar learning have suggested that this structure predominantly
operates according to an error-based supervised learning rule to refine movements …

The cerebellum is essential for error-driven motor learning and is strongly implicated in
detecting and correcting for motor errors. Therefore, elucidating how motor errors are …

Perception and action are governed not only by sensory information but also by prior
predictions about sensory events. These sensory predictions allow one to react more rapidly …

Individuals with damage to the cerebellum perform poorly in sensorimotor adaptation
paradigms. This deficit has been attributed to impairment in sensory prediction error-based …

Feed forward control and estimates of the future state of the motor system are critical for fast
and coordinated movements. One framework for generating these predictive signals is …

When we use a novel tool, the motor commands may not produce the expected outcome. In
healthy individuals, with practice the brain learns to alter the motor commands. This change …
