The cerebellum is a key player in many brain functions and a major topic of neuroscience
research. However, the cerebellar nuclei (CN), the main output structures of the cerebellum …

The cerebellum has a long history in terms of research on its network structures and motor
functions, yet our understanding of them has further advanced in recent years owing to …

Cognitive processes involve precisely coordinated neuronal communications between
multiple cerebral cortical structures in a task specific manner. Rich new evidence now …

The cerebellum consists of parallel circuit modules that contribute to diverse behaviors,
spanning motor to cognitive. Recent work employing cell-type-specific tracing has identified …

Supervised learning depends on instructive signals that shape the output of neural circuits to
support learned changes in behavior. Climbing fiber (CF) inputs to the cerebellar cortex …

While research on the cerebellar cortex is crystallizing our understanding of its function in
learning behavior, many questions surrounding its downstream targets remain. Here, we …

Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are assemblies of extracellular matrix molecules, which surround
the cell body and dendrites of many types of neuron and regulate neural plasticity. PNNs are …

Purkinje cells receive synaptic input from several classes of interneurons. Here, we address
the roles of inhibitory molecular layer interneurons in establishing Purkinje cell function in …

To understand the neural basis of behavior, it is important to reveal how movements are
planned, executed, and refined by networks of neurons distributed throughout the nervous …

Associative learning during delay eyeblink conditioning (EBC) depends on an intact
cerebellum. However, the relative contribution of changes in the cerebellar nuclei to learning …
