In this article, we review a broad range of studies of cerebellar function and dysfunction and
interpret them within the framework that the cerebellum acts as part of a mechanism of …

Multiple learning processes contribute to successful goal-directed actions in the face of
changing physiological states, biomechanical constraints, and environmental contexts …

Motor variability from exploration is crucial for reinforcement learning as it allows the
nervous system to find new task solutions. However, motor variability from noise can be …

It is thought that the brain does not simply react to sensory feedback, but rather uses an
internal model of the body to predict the consequences of motor commands before sensory …

Background It is well established that proprioception (position sense) is important for motor
control, yet its role in motor learning and associated plasticity is not well understood. We …

Proprioception, the process of perceiving our bodies in space, is a key aspect of self-
perception. The cerebellar cortex is believed to play a critical role in proprioception …

Humans with spinal cord injury (SCI) show deficits in associating motor commands and
sensory feedback. Do these deficits affect their ability to adapt movements to new demands …

Background Robotic technologies to measure human behavior are emerging as a new
approach to assess brain function. Recently, we developed a robot-based postural Load …

Recent work showed that individuals with cerebellar degeneration could leverage intact
reinforcement learning (RL) to alter their movement. However, there was marked inter …

The ability to adapt to changes occurring in the environment is a fundamental feature of
human behavior, which relies on both sensory and reward feedbacks. On the one hand, the …
