Cerebellar motor learning is required to obtain procedural skills. Studies have provided
supportive evidence for a potential role of kinase-mediated long-term depression (LTD) at the …

Cerebellar dysfunction relates to various psychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum
and depressive disorders. However, the physiological aspect is less advanced. Here, we …

Climbing fibers provide one of the two major excitatory inputs to the cerebellar cortex. In an
immature animal, several climbing fibers form synapses with one Purkinje neuron. During …

A novel ionotropic glutamate receptor subunit δ2 (GluRδ2), which is specifically expressed
in cerebellar Purkinje neurons (PNs), is implicated in the induction of long-term depression. …

The cerebellum governs motor coordination and motor learning. Infection with external
microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi, induces the release and production of …

Synaptic gain control and information storage in neural networks are mediated by alterations
in synaptic transmission, such as in long-term potentiation (LTP). Here, we show using both …

Neurons in rodent visual cortex are organized in a salt-and-pepper fashion for orientation
selectivity, but it is still unknown how this functional architecture develops. A recent study …

The cerebellum, a universal processor for sensory acquisition and internal models, and its
association with synaptic and nonsynaptic plasticity have been envisioned as the biological …

A classic view in cerebellar physiology holds that Purkinje cells do not express functional
NMDA receptors and that, therefore, postsynaptic NMDA receptors are not involved in the …

Small-conductance Ca 2+ -activated K + channels (SK channels) modulate excitability and
curtail excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) in neuronal dendrites. Here, we …
