Abstract

We propose to establish whether motor learning is a fundamental operating principle of the cerebellum by studying a simple form of associative learning - classical eyeblink conditioning. We will use electrophysiological techniques to identify those cerebellar neurons critically involved in eyeblink control and with anatomical techniques, we will establish their connectivities. We will analyse the activity of these identified and characterised neurons during classical eyeblink conditioning. These findings can then be used in predictive models of cerebellar motor and learning functions.
