A new model for Cerebellar computation

The standard state space model is widely believed to account for the cerebellar computation in motor adaptation tasks [1]. Here we show that several recent experiments [2-4] where the visual feedback is irrelevant to the motor response challenge the standard model. Furthermore, we propose a new mode...

Description
Summary:The standard state space model is widely believed to account for the cerebellar computation in motor adaptation tasks [1]. Here we show that several recent experiments [2-4] where the visual feedback is irrelevant to the motor response challenge the standard model. Furthermore, we propose a new model that accounts for the the results presented in [2-4]. According to this new model, learning and forgetting are coupled and are error size dependent. We also show that under reasonable assumptions, our proposed model is the only model that accounts for both the classical adaptation paradigm as well as the recent experiments [2-4].
