Reach errors may be broadly classified into errors arising from unpredictable changes in
target location, called target errors, and errors arising from miscalibration of internal models (eg…

Fine finger movements are controlled by the population activity of neurons in the hand area
of primary motor cortex. Experiments using microstimulation and single-neuron …

Movements of the upper limb are controlled mostly through the contralateral hemisphere.
Although overall activity changes in the ipsilateral motor cortex have been reported, their …

Damage to the cerebellum disrupts performance on a range of tasks that require precise
timing including the production of skilled movements, eyeblink conditioning, and perceptual …

The functional organization of the cerebellum is reflected in large part by the unique afferent
and efferent connectivity of the individual cerebellar lobules. This functional diversity on a …

Representational models specify how activity patterns in populations of neurons (or, more
generally, in multivariate brain-activity measurements) relate to sensory stimuli, motor …

The exploits of Martina Navratilova and Roger Federer represent the pinnacle of motor
learning. However, when considering the range and complexity of the processes that are …

This article presents a new high-resolution atlas template of the human, cerebellum and
brainstem, based on the anatomy of 20 young healthy individuals. The atlas is spatially unbiased…

Optimal control theory and its more recent extension, optimal feedback control theory, provide
valuable insights into the flexible and task-dependent control of movements. Here, we …

There is compelling evidence that the human cerebellum is engaged in a wide array of
motor and cognitive tasks. A fundamental question centers on whether the cerebellum is …
