We recorded from two classes of inhibitory neurons in the cerebellum and found a striking mathematical regularity in spike timing: as firing rates increased, the temporal intervals that induced downstream superposition were promoted while the intervals that caused interference were suppressed.

Learning from error is central to the cerebellum. When an error occurs, the P-cells are informed via their climbing fiber input, which slightly suppresses the simple spikes on the next attempt. The resulting change in behavior is defined by the P-cell's potent vector.

Encoding of error and learning to correct that error by the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum - Nature Neuroscience
Herzfeld et al. examine how the cerebellum learns to correct movements. They find a timing code that links a Purkinje cell’s preference for error to its downstream projection on motor effectors that p...
