N Sendhilnathan, A Ipata, ME Goldberg - Nature Communications, 2021 - nature.com
Although the cerebellum has been implicated in simple reward-based learning recently, the
role of complex spikes (CS) and simple spikes (SS), their interaction and their relationship to …

[HTML][HTML] A cerebro-cerebellar network for learning visuomotor associations

N Sendhilnathan, AC Bostan, PL Strick… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
Consensus is rapidly building to support a role for the cerebellum beyond motor function, but
its contributions to non-motor learning remain poorly understood. Here, we provide …

Neural correlates of goal-directed and non–goal-directed movements

N Sendhilnathan, D Basu… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
What are the cortical neural correlates that distinguish goal-directed and non–goal-directed
