The cerebellum has long been proposed to play a role in cognitive function, although this
has remained controversial. This idea has received renewed support with the recent …

Studies on synaptic plasticity in the context of learning have been dominated by the view
that a single, particular type of plasticity forms the underlying mechanism for a particular type …

Neurons are generally considered to communicate information by increasing or decreasing
their firing rate. However, in principle, they could in addition convey messages by using …

Although our ability to store semantic declarative information can nowadays be readily
surpassed by that of simple personal computers, our ability to learn and express procedural …

Three decades of electrophysiological research on cerebellar cortical activity underlying
Pavlovian conditioning have expanded our understanding of motor learning in the brain …

The genetic heterogeneity of autism poses a major challenge for identifying mechanism-
based treatments. A number of rare mutations are associated with autism, and it is unclear …

Long-term depression at parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapses (PF-PC LTD) has been
proposed to be required for cerebellar motor learning. To date, tests of this hypothesis have …

In motor neuroscience, state changes are hypothesized to time-lock neural assemblies
coordinating complex movements, but evidence for this remains slender. We tested whether …

Two of the most striking properties of the cerebellum are its control in timing of motor
operations and its ability to adapt behavior to new sensorimotor associations. Here, we …

Humans' ability to synchronize movement with auditory rhythms relies on motor networks,
such as cortical areas, basal ganglia and the cerebellum, which also participate in rhythm …
