Cerebro-Cerebellar Interactions and Organization of a Fast and Stable Hand Movement: Cerebellar Participation in Voluntary Movement and Motor Learning

  • Conference paper
Cerebellar Functions

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

In higher mammals, especially primates, the hemispherical part of the cerebellum (posterior lobe, neocerebellum) becomes much larger, as the cerebral cortex develops enormously (Dow, 1942; Larsell, 1970). This part is reciprocally connected with the cerebral cortex and is considered important in organizing and controlling voluntary and skilled movements (Evarts and Thach, 1969; Allen and Tsukahara, 1974; Eccles, 1979; Sasaki, 1979; Brooks and Thach, 1981). After mossy and climbing fiber inputs to the cerebellum had been electrophysiologically distinguished (Eccles et al., 1966a, b; 1967), neuronal circuits between the cerebral cortex and the cerebellum of cats and monkeys were electrophysiologically investigated in detail, and those of monkeys were schematically drawn as in Fig. 1 (Sasaki, 1979; cf. Hassler, 1956).
