Open AccessTemporal Relationship between Impairment of Cerebellar Motor Learning and Deterioration of Ataxia in Patients with Cerebellar Degeneration
Ataxia and impaired motor learning are both fundamental features in diseases affecting the cerebellum. However, it remains unclarified whether motor learning is impaired only when ataxia clearly manifests, nor...

Roles of Synaptic Plasticity in Functional Recovery After Brain Injury
Patients with brain injury or stroke suffer from sensory-motor disorder caused by the loss of function of damaged brain tissues. The goal of is to facilitate the recovery of the impaired sensory-motor functi...

Open AccessDeficiency of protocadherin 9 leads to reduction in positive emotional behaviour
Protocadherin 9 (Pcdh9) is a member of the cadherin superfamily and is uniquely expressed in the vestibular and limbic systems; however, its physiological role remains unclear. Here, we studied the expression ...

Role of the Cerebellum in the Acquisition and Consolidation of Memory of Motor Learning
The Marr–Albus–Ito cerebellar learning hypothesis proposed around 1970 has been tested by analyzing how the cerebellar flocculus (FL) induces adaptations in the horizontal vestibulo-ocular (HVOR) and optokinet...

Modeling Post-training Memory Transfer in Cerebellar Motor Learning
The cerebellum has two distinct memory sites. A single session of behavioral training forms short-term memory in the cerebellar cortex, and by repeating the training, long-term memory is formed in the cerebell...

Pontine nuclei-mediated cerebello-cerebral interactions and its functional role
The pontine nuclei relay information derived from the cerebral cortex to the cerebellum. In addition to the motor command signals generated in the motor cortex, the cerebellum may generate motor command signal...

The lobulus petrosus of the paraflocculus relays cortical visual inputs to the posterior interposed and lateral cerebellar nuclei: an anterograde and retrograde tracing study in the monkey
The afferent and efferent projections of the lobulus petrosus (LP) of the paraflocculus were examined by retrograde tracing with cholera toxin subunit B (CTB) and anterograde tracing with CTB or biotinylated ...

Differences in mossy and climbing afferent sources between flocculus and ventral and dorsal paraflocculus in the rat
Sources of mossy and climbing fiber inputs to the flocculus (FL), ventral paraflocculus (VP) and/or dorsal paraflocculus (DP) were identified in the vestibular ganglion, medulla oblongata and pons of 19 Wista...
