Shortly after John Eccles completed his studies of synaptic inhibition in the spinal cord, for
which he was awarded the 1963 Nobel Prize in physiology/medicine, he opened another …

▪ Abstract The cerebellum is an evolutionarily conserved structure critical for motor learning
in vertebrates. The model that has influenced much of the work in the field for the past 30 …

The notion that the olivocerebellar system is crucial for motor learning is well established. In
recent years, it has become evident that there can be many forms of both synaptic and non …

Adaptation of ocular reflexes is a prototype of motor learning. While the cerebellum is
acknowledged as the critical site for motor learning, the functional differences between the …

Long-term depression (LTD) here concerned is persistent attenuation of transmission
efficiency from a bundle of parallel fibers to a Purkinje cell. Uniquely, LTD is induced by …

Glutamatergic excitatory transmission is implicated in physiological and pathological
conditions like learning, memory, neuronal plasticity and emotions, while glutamatergic …

Cerebellar climbing fiber activity encodes performance errors during many motor learning
tasks, but the role of these error signals in learning has been controversial. We compared …

The cerebellum plays an essential role in motor learning. The ability to identify specific
sensory and motor signals carried by neurons with known connectivity makes the …

As a result of the availability of genetic mutant strains and development of noninvasive eye
movements recording techniques, the mouse stands as a very interesting model for bridging …

We developed a new protocol that induces long-term adaptation of horizontal optokinetic
response (HOKR) eye movement by hours of spaced training and examined the role of …
