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 …

The past several years have brought revelations and paradigm shifts in research on the
cerebellum. Historically viewed as a simple sensorimotor controller with homogeneous …

Synaptic connectivity varies widely across neuronal types. Cerebellar granule cells receive
five orders of magnitude fewer inputs than the Purkinje cells they innervate, and cerebellum …

The cerebellar vermis, long associated with axial motor control, has been implicated in a
surprising range of neuropsychiatric disorders and cognitive and affective functions …

The cerebellum has long been proposed to play a role in cognitive function, although this
has remained controversial. This idea has received renewed support with the recent …

The brain generates predictive motor commands to control the spatiotemporal precision of
high-velocity movements. Yet, how the brain organizes automated internal feedback to …

When animals interact with complex environments, their neural circuits must separate
overlapping patterns of activity that represent sensory and motor information. Pattern …

The cerebellar cortex has a key role in generating predictive sensorimotor associations. To
do so, the granule cell layer is thought to establish unique sensorimotor representations for …

Supervised learning plays a key role in the operation of many biological and artificial neural
networks. Analysis of the computations underlying supervised learning is facilitated by the …

Over the past several decades, theories about cerebellar learning have evolved. A relatively
simple view that highlighted the contribution of one major form of heterosynaptic plasticity to …
