Publisher Summary This chapter gives an overview of the relation between the inferior olive
(IO) and the cerebellar nuclei (CN), based on tracing and electrophysiological experiments …

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 …

The output of the cerebellar cortex is controlled by two main inputs,(ie, the climbing fiber and
mossy fiber-parallel fiber pathway) and activations of these inputs elicit characteristic effects …

While firing rate is well established as a relevant parameter for encoding information
exchanged between neurons, the significance of other parameters is more conjectural …

In cerebellum and other brain regions, neuronal cell death because of ethanol consumption
by the mother is thought to be the leading cause of neurological deficits in the offspring …

The cerebellum is a site of complex sensorimotor integration and contains up to 80% of the
neurons in the brain, yet comparatively little is known about the organization of sensorimotor …

We obtained intracellular recordings of 84 Purkinje cells in vitro from guinea pig slices and
of 35 cells in vivo from ketamine-anesthetized rats in order to assess detailed properties of …

1. We examined the relationship of cerebellar Purkinje cell discharge to the scaling of
kinematics during a voluntary motor learning paradigm. The study focused on whether the …

The tottering mouse is an autosomal recessive disorder involving a missense mutation in the
gene encoding P/Q-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. The tottering mouse has a …

Fast (∼ 160Hz) cerebellar oscillation has been recently described in different models of
ataxic mice, such as mice lacking calcium-binding proteins and in a mouse model of …
