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 …

The climbing fiber (CF) to Purkinje cell (PC) synapse in the cerebellum provides an ideal
model for the study of developmental rearrangements of neural circuits. At birth, each PC is …

Abstract Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is an autosomal dominantly inherited
disorder, which is caused by a pathological expansion of a polyglutamine (polyQ) tract in the …

The GluD1 gene is associated with susceptibility for schizophrenia, autism, depression, and
bipolar disorder. However, the function of GluD1 and how it is involved in these conditions …

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 …

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 …

The term “vestibular compensation” refers to the resolution of motor deficits resulting from a
peripheral vestibular lesion. We investigated the role of the cerebellum in the compensation …

Extracellular recordings were made from vestibular–nerve afferents innervating the
semicircular canals in anesthetized C57BL/6 mice ranging in age from 4–24 weeks. A …

The Lurcher mouse was first discovered in 1954 as a spontaneously occurring autosomal
dominant mutation that caused the degeneration of virtually all cerebellar Purkinje cells and …

GluD2 receptor belongs to the orphan delta family of glutamate receptor ion channels.
These receptors play key roles in synaptogenesis and synaptic plasticity and are associated …
