Popis: | We suggest that the cerebellum generates sensory or 'state' estimates based on outgoing motor commands and sensory feedback. Thus, it is not a motor pattern gen erator (Houk et al.) but a predictive system which is intimately involved in motor behaviour. This theory may explain the sensitivity of the climbing fibres to both un expected external events and motor errors (Simpson et al.), and we speculate that unusual biophysical properties of the inferior olive might allow the cerebellum to develop multiple asynchronous sensory estimates. |
