Although the prevailing wisdom among neuroscientists is that Purkinje cells have just one primary dendrite that connects with a single climbing fiber from the brain stem, new research shows that ...

Though there is a wealth knowledge supporting the idea that sensory cues benefit motor learning, the precise brain circuitry and mechanisms tying these two together has been debated in recent years.

Figure 1: VOR circuit and Marr-Albus-Ito hypothesis for VOR learning. Our results suggest that learning can be induced in the absence of instructive signals in the climbing fibers and that plasticity ...
