In the context of neurodegeneration and aging, the cerebellum is an enigma. Genetic
markers of cellular aging in cerebellum accumulate more slowly than in the rest of the brain …

Virtual reality (VR) is becoming an increasingly important way to investigate sensory
processing. The converse is also true: in order to build good VR technologies, one needs an …

Humans spend a lifetime learning, storing and refining a repertoire of motor memories. For
example, through experience, we become proficient at manipulating a large range of objects …

Understanding the brain requires us to answer both what the brain does, and how it does it.
Using a series of examples, I make the case that behavior is often more useful than …

Controlling behavior to flexibly achieve desired goals depends on the ability to monitor one's
own performance. It is unknown how performance monitoring can be both flexible, to support …

The strategies found by animals facing a new task are determined both by individual
experience and by structural priors evolved to leverage the statistics of natural …

Influential theories emphasize the importance of predictions in learning: we learn from
feedback to the extent that it is surprising, and thus conveys new information. Here, we …

Highlights•Learning is supported by the brain's reinforcement learning network
(RL).•Executive functions (EF) support other forms of learning, but also interact with and …

Motor learning is often viewed as a unitary process that operates outside of conscious
awareness. This perspective has led to the development of sophisticated models designed …

Motor improvements, such as faster movement times or increased velocity, have been
associated with reward magnitude in deterministic contexts. Yet whether individual …
