Cerebellar granule cells, which outnumber all other neurons in the brain combined, help the brain to generalize to new situations and distinguish between contexts simultaneously. By Holly Barker www.thetransmitter.org/cerebellum/c...

Granule cells predict future dopamine reward. Delayed climbing-fiber signals can reinforce the action that precedes it. Our paper, led by Benjamin Filio, is out today in Nature Neuroscience. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Public PDF: rdcu.be/RscCNeXvkXAa

The cortex and cerebellum split the labor: the cortex provides a stable, general-purpose movement blueprint, while the cerebellum reorients that same blueprint differently for each context Granule cells reorient cortical trajectories to separate contexts www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience

Granule cells reorient cortical trajectories to separate contexts - Nature

Simultaneous imaging of premotor cortex and cerebellar granule cells in mice learning two skills in parallel shows that trajectories generalize in cortex but coherently reorient apart in granule cells...

How does the brain continually adapt? Fresh in @natureportfolio.nature.com our super exciting collaboration with @mark-j-wagner.bsky.social showing that the cerebellum contextualises cortical dynamics enable multi-task learning: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How the cerebellum separates related contexts—now out in Nature! Martha Garcia-Garcia led this tour de force, with theory from @somnirons.bsky.social & Michał Wójcik. Martha is on the faculty market, and I could not recommend her more highly. My lab is also recruiting! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How does the brain generalize past experiences without confusing memories? 🧠 Our lab's newest preprint reveals a fundamental division of labor between the cortex and cerebellum that solves this problem. (Check out the cortex-cerebellum video below! 👇) 🧵
