The cerebellar microcircuit as an adaptive filter: experimental and computational evidence

TLDR
It is concluded that many Marr–Albus models are in effect adaptive filters, and that evidence for symmetrical long-term potentiation and long- term depression, interneuron plasticity, silent parallel fibre synapses and recurrent mossy fibre connectivity is strikingly congruent with predictions from adaptive-filter models of cerebellar function.
Abstract
Initial investigations of the cerebellar microcircuit inspired the Marr-Albus theoretical framework of cerebellar function. We review recent developments in the experimental understanding of cerebellar microcircuit characteristics and in the computational analysis of Marr-Albus models. We conclude that many Marr-Albus models are in effect adaptive filters, and that evidence for symmetrical long-term potentiation and long-term depression, interneuron plasticity, silent parallel fibre synapses and recurrent mossy fibre connectivity is strikingly congruent with predictions from adaptive-filter models of cerebellar function. This congruence suggests that insights from adaptive-filter theory might help to address outstanding issues of cerebellar function, including both microcircuit processing and extra-cerebellar connectivity.

Consensus Paper: The Cerebellum's Role in Movement and Cognition

TL;DR: The cerebellum in relation to neurocognitive development, language function, working memory, executive function, and the development of cerebellar internal control models is considered and some of the ways in which better understanding the Cerebellum's status as a “supervised learning machine” can enrich the ability to understand human function and adaptation are considered.

Distributed synergistic plasticity and cerebellar learning

TL;DR: It is proposed that the different forms of plasticity in the granular layer and the molecular layer operate synergistically in a temporally and spatially distributed manner, so as to ultimately create optimal output for behaviour.

Spatiotemporal firing patterns in the cerebellum

TL;DR: Expanding lines of evidence are reviewed that spatiotemporal coding occurs in the cerebellum, and that the olivocerebellar system is optimally designed to generate and employ precise patterns of complex spikes and simple spikes during the acquisition and consolidation of motor skills.

A connectome of a learning and memory center in the adult Drosophila brain

TL;DR: This work reconstructed the morphologies and synaptic connections of all 983 neurons within the three functional units, or compartments, that compose the adult MB’s α lobe, using a dataset of isotropic 8 nm voxels collected by focused ion-beam milling scanning electron microscopy.

A Theory of Cerebellar Cortex

TL;DR: A detailed theory of cerebellar cortex is proposed whose consequence is that the cerebellum learns to perform motor skills and two forms of input—output relation are described, both consistent with the cortical theory.

Internal models for motor control and trajectory planning

TL;DR: The 'minimum variance model' is another major recent advance in the computational theory of motor control, strongly suggesting that both kinematic and dynamic internal models are utilized in movement planning and control.
