Over the past several decades, theories about cerebellar learning have evolved. A relatively
simple view that highlighted the contribution of one major form of heterosynaptic plasticity to …

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 …

Cerebellar Purkinje cells exhibit a unique type of synaptic plasticity, namely, long-term
depression (LTD). When two inputs to a Purkinje cell, one from a climbing fiber and the other …

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 …

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 …

Cerebellar long-term depression (LTD) is a model system for neuronal information storage
that has an absolute requirement for activation of protein kinase C (PKC). It has been …

The persistence of many contrasting notions of climbing fiber function after years of
investigation testifies that the issue of climbing fiber contributions to cerebellar transactions …

Interest in connecting molecular biology and behavior is motivating research into the eye
movements of mice. Unfortunately, recording eye movements in this diminutive animal is …

For many decades, the predominant view in the cerebellar field has been that the
olivocerebellar system's primary function is to induce plasticity in the cerebellar cortex …

Neurons store information by changing synaptic input weights. In addition, they can adjust
their membrane excitability to alter spike output. Here, we demonstrate a role of such …
