Simple and Complex Spike Firing Patterns in Purkinje Cells During Classical Conditioning
Classical blink conditioning is known to depend critically on the cerebellum and the relevant circuitry is gradually being unravelled. Several lines of evidence support the theory that the conditioned stimulus...

Open AccessThe Effect of Nucleo-Olivary Stimulation on Climbing Fiber EPSPs in Purkinje Cells
Climbing fibers, connecting the inferior olive and Purkinje cells, form the nervous system's strongest neural connection. These fibers activate after critical events like motor errors or anticipation of reward...

Open AccessGap Junctions May Have A Computational Function In The Cerebellum: A Hypothesis
In the cerebellum, granule cells make parallel fibre contact on (and excite) Golgi cells and Golgi cells inhibit granule cells, forming an open feedback loop. Parallel fibres excite Golgi cells synaptically, e...
