Abstract

The cerebellum is involved in training and performing of complex movements. The neurons of the cerebellar network and their interactions are well known. Clinical symptoms are well identified. Yet, in spite of the large body of knowledge accumulated up to now there is still need for a comprehensive, coherent theory that elucidates the role of cerebellum in acquisition and use of motor skills.
