Abstract

Without the cerebellum, organisms are challenged in the learning and execution of accurate and coordinated actions. It has a central position in the nervous system receiving and projecting to the spinal cord, midbrain, and cerebral cortex, implying convergence of sensory and motor streams. Its highly conserved neuroarchitecture would imply it is very good at what it does and that what it does is very general. Here we review theoretical, modeling, and computational work that has attempted to capture the dynamics and/or function of the cerebellum.
