Respiration is a brain function on which our lives essentially depend. Control of respiration
ensures that the frequency and depth of breathing adapt continuously to metabolic needs. In …

Following the fundamental recognition of its involvement in sensory-motor coordination and
learning, the cerebellum is now also believed to take part in the processing of cognition and …

The cerebellum is a central brain structure deeply integrated into major loops with the
cerebral cortex, brainstem, and spinal cord. The cerebellum shows a complex regional …

It is widely accepted that the cerebellum acquires and maintain internal models for motor
control. An internal model simulates mapping between a set of causes and effects. There are …

The brain selectively allocates attention from a continuous stream of sensory input. This
process is typically attributed to computations in distinct regions of the forebrain and …

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 …

The cerebellum is thought to play a critical role in procedural learning, but the relationship
between this function and the underlying cellular and synaptic mechanisms remains largely …

The cerebellum is involved in learning and memory of sensory motor skills. However, the
way this process takes place in local microcircuits is still unclear. The initial proposal, casted …

The cerebellar microcircuit has been the work bench for theoretical and computational
modeling since the beginning of neuroscientific research. The regular neural architecture of …

Summary Small-conductance Ca 2+-activated K+ channels (SK channels) modulate
excitability and curtail excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) in neuronal dendrites …
