Accurate goal-directed behaviour requires the sense of touch to be integrated with
information about body position and ongoing motion,. Behaviours such as chewing …

During foraging, animals explore a site and harvest reward and then abandon that site and
travel to the next opportunity. One aspect of this behavior involves decision making, and the …

Computations that are performed by the cerebellar cortex are transmitted via simple spikes
of Purkinje cells (P-cells) to downstream structures, but because P-cells are many synapses …

Neurons in the inferior olive are thought to anatomically organize the Purkinje cells (P-cells)
of the cerebellum into computational modules, but what is computed by each module? Here …

To quantify the cerebellum's contributions to control of the tongue, we trained head-fixed
marmosets to make dexterous movements, harvesting food from small tubes that were …

When a neuron modulates its firing rate during a movement, we tend to assume that it is
contributing to control of that movement. However, null space theory makes the counter …

Most decisions we make are realized through movements and how we make these
movements determine the outcomes of our decisions. In this thesis, I present an augmented …
