    Gap 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...

    The 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...

    Feedback Control in the Olivocerebellar Loop

    About 40 years ago, a subpopulation of small neurons in the cerebellar nuclei was shown to project to the inferior olive, the source of the climbing fiber input to the cerebellum. This nucleo-olivary projectio...

    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...
