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 …

The neuropsychological literature on 3-D spatial interactions is integrated using a model of 4
major behavioral realms:(a) peripersonal (visuomotor operations in near-body space),(b) …

The cerebellum is important for movement control and plays a particularly crucial role in
balance and locomotion. As such, one of the most characteristic signs of cerebellar damage …

Comparison of two seemingly quite different behaviors yields a surprisingly consistent
picture of the role of the cerebellum in motor learning. Behavioral and physiological data …

Primates use a combination of smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movements to stabilize the
retinal image of selected objects within the high-acuity region near the fovea. Pursuit has …

An intact cerebellum is a prerequisite for optimal ocular motor performance. The cerebellum
fine-tunes each of the subtypes of eye movements so they work together to bring and …

Self‐motion detection requires the interaction of a number of sensory systems for correct
perceptual interpretation of a given movement and an eventual motor response. Parietal …

MANY lines of evidence suggest that the cerebellum is involved in motor control1. But what
features of these movements are encoded by cerebellar neurons? For slow-tracking eye …

Local feedforward and recurrent connectivity are rife in the frontal areas of the cerebral
cortex, which gives rise to rich heterogeneous dynamics observed in such areas. Recently …

The hypothesis of cerebellar learning proposes that complex spikes in Purkinje cells engage
mechanisms of plasticity in the cerebellar cortex; in turn, changes in the cerebellum depress …
