The cerebellum is an essential part of the neural network involved in adapting goal-directed
arm movements. This adaptation might rely on two distinct signals: a sensory prediction error …

We here provide neural evidence that the cerebellar circuit can predict future inputs from
present outputs, a hallmark of an internal forward model. Recent computational studies …

Traditionally, motor learning has been studied as an implicit learning process, one in which
movement errors are used to improve performance in a continuous, gradual manner. The …

The brain is an organ that processes information. Brain systems such as the cerebellum
receive inputs from other systems and generate outputs according to their internal rules of …

The cerebellum is an important contributor to feedforward control mechanisms of the central
nervous system, and sequencing—the process that allows spatial and temporal …

The motor system may use internal predictive models of the motor apparatus to achieve
better control than would be possible by negative feedback. Several theories have proposed …

Considerable progress has been made in developing models of cerebellar function in
sensorimotor control, as well as in identifying key problems that are the focus of current …

I argue that the cerebellum has at least two related roles, both sub‐served by its operation
as a 'forward model'of the motor system. First, it provides an internal state estimate or …

Each action has sensory consequences that need to be distinguished from sensations
arising from the environment. This is accomplished by the comparing of internal predictions …

Leading neuroscientist Dr. Masao Ito advances a detailed and fascinating view of what the
cerebellum contributes to brain function. The cerebellum has been seen as primarily …
