Cerebellar function: Coordination, learning or timing?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Theories of cerebellar function have largely involved three ideas: movement coordination, motor learning or timing. New evidence indicates these distinctions are not particularly meaningful, as the cerebellum influences movement execution by feedforward use of sensory information via temporally specific learning.

A Predictive Perspective on the Cerebellum
The cerebellum’s role in motor and cognitive functions remains highly controversial. The cerebellum is involved in motor timing, motor coordination, motor learning and sensorimotor integration. For example, cerebellar contributions have been inferred in situations as diverse as timing of the conditioned eyelid response (Perrett and Ruiz, 1993), shifting of attention (Akshoomoff and Courchesne, ...
متن کاملCerebellar Development and Plasticity: Perspectives for Motor Coordination Strategies, for Motor Skills, and for Therapy
The role of the mammalian cerebellum ranges from motor coordination, sensory-motor integration, motor learning, and timing to nonmotor functions such as cognition. In terms of motor function, the development of the cerebellum is of particular interest because animal studies show that the development of the cerebellar cortical circuitry closely parallels motor coordination. Ultrastructural analy...
متن کاملSeeking a unified framework for cerebellar function and dysfunction: from circuit operations to cognition
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 emotion. This hypothesis is recurrent in numerous papers reporting anatomical and functional observations, and it requires an explanation. We argue that a similar circuit structure in all cerebellar areas may car...
متن کاملSpatial Memory, Motor Coordination, Cerebellar and Hippocampal Histoarchitectural Changes following Atropine Administration to Adult Mice
Atropine is a non-selective muscarinic receptor antagonist. In overdoses, atropine is poisonous. It is sometimes added to potentially addictive drugs, particularly anti-diarrhoea opioid drugs such as diphenoxylate or difenoxin. The aim of this study was to investigate spatial memory and motor changes associated with varying doses (5 and 10 mg/kg body weight) ingestion of atropine, as well as it...
متن کاملCerebellar functional abnormalities in schizophrenia are suggested by classical eyeblink conditioning.
BACKGROUND Previous research suggests that schizophrenia may result from disruptions in a cortico-cerebellar-thalamic-cortical circuit (CCTCC) producing a mental incoordination or "cognitive dysmetria." To further evaluate the cerebellar contribution to this disrupted circuitry, medication-free patients with schizophrenia completed classical eyeblink conditioning, a cerebellar-mediated learning...
