We propose a discrete model of the olivo-cerebellar system. The model consists of three layers of interacting elements, namely, inferior olive neurons, Purkinje cells, and deep cerebellar nuclear neurons combined into a structure by axonal connections. Each element of the structure is described by a two-dimensional map with an individual set of parameters for each type of neurons. Dynamic properties of different types of neurons are described and spontaneous and stimulusinduced dynamics of the system is explored. Unlike the previously proposed models, this study takes into account the axonal interaction of neurons of different layers, as well as the interaction of the inferior olive neurons through electrical synapses with the property of plasticity. It is shown that the inclusion of these factors plays a significant role in the formation of spatio-temporal activity of the inferior olive neurons.
