The cerebellum regulates complex movements and is also implicated in cognitive tasks, and
cerebellar dysfunction is consequently associated not only with movement disorders, but …

The deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN) are at the center of the cerebellum not only anatomically
but also functionally. Classical anatomical studies have described different types of DCN …

An unusual feature of the cerebellar cortex is that its output neurons, Purkinje cells, release
GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid). Their high intrinsic firing rates (50 Hz) and extensive …

The impact of glial neurotransmitter receptors in vivo is still elusive. In the cerebellum,
Bergmann glial (BG) cells express α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid …

Behavioral and computational studies predict that synaptic plasticity of excitatory mossy fiber
inputs to cerebellar nuclear neurons is required for associative learning, but standard …

Cerebellar nucleus neurons were recorded in vitro, and dynamic clamping was used to
simulate inhibitory synaptic input from Purkinje cells likely to occur in vivo. Inhibitory input …

Injection of NMDAR antagonist into the thalamus can produce delta frequency EEG
oscillations in the thalamocortical system. It is surprising that an antagonist of an excitatory …

Neurons of the cerebellar nuclei have basal firing rates of 10–20 Hz, despite the
convergence of many GABAergic Purkinje terminals onto cerebellar nuclear somata and the …

Neurons of the cerebellar nuclei generate the non-vestibular output of the cerebellum. Like
other neurons, they integrate excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs and filter them through …

Neurons of the cerebellar nuclei receive synaptic excitation from cerebellar mossy fibers.
Unlike in many principal neurons, coincident presynaptic activity and postsynaptic …
