Links from complex spikes to local plasticity and motor learning in the cerebellum of awake-behaving monkeys

Abstract

This study presents a trial-by-trial analysis of responses of Purkinje cells of the cerebellum in awake-behaving monkeys as they carry out a simple motor learning task. The results show that the presence of a complex spike on one learning trial is linked to a depression of simple-spike responses on a subsequent trial when behavioral learning takes place.
