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 …

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 …

The cerebellum is a central brain structure deeply integrated into major loops with the
cerebral cortex, brainstem, and spinal cord. The cerebellum shows a complex regional …

The cerebellum is best known for its role in controlling motor behaviors. However, recent
work supports the view that it also influences non-motor behaviors. The contribution of the …

The rodent whisker system is widely used as a model system for investigating sensorimotor
integration, neural mechanisms of complex cognitive tasks, neural development, and …

Although feedforward inhibition onto Purkinje cells was first documented 40 years ago, we
understand little of how inhibitory interneurons contribute to cerebellar function in behaving …

The compartmentalization of the cerebellum into modules is often used to discuss its
function. What, exactly, can be considered a module, how do they operate, can they be …

Neuronal networks are dynamically modified by selective synapse pruning during
development and adulthood. However, how certain connections win the competition with …

Spatiotemporal maps of dendritic signalling and their relationship with somatic output is
fundamental to neuronal information processing, yet remain unexplored in awake animals …

Inferior olive neurons regulate plasticity and timing in the cerebellar cortex via the climbing
fiber pathway, but direct characterization of the output of this nucleus has remained elusive …
