This study shows that ablating cerebellar output neurons has less impact on behavior than genetic mutations in these neurons, which cause additional deficits in learning and memory.

This study identifies the ventral posteromedial nucleus of the thalamus as a source of tonic-clonic seizures, showing cerebellar input drives seizure initiation.

This study shows that cerebellar stimulation impairs spatial working memory and disrupts mPFC-dCA1 coherence, suggesting a role for the cerebellum in modulating prefrontal-hippocampal interactions during decision-making.

The paper shows that cerebellar Purkinje cells in awake mice encode phase differences between oscillations in the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampus during spatial working memory tasks.

This study shows that high gamma oscillations (50-90Hz) mediate phase synchronization and spike synchrony between thalamus and cortex in awake mice during visual processing.
