Research Abstract |
We investigated how the cerebellum contributes to the generation of smooth motor commands. For this purpose, we carried out experiments in arm and eye movements. As a result, we showed that simple spike activities recorded from Purkinje cells in the cerebellum encoded dynamics of the arm movements. The results support the hypothesis that the cerebellum optimizes dynamics of the movements. As for eye movements, we estimated onset times, directions and amplitudes of saccadic eye movements from the neural activities recorded from cerebral cortices. We were successful in calculating optimized motor commands to achieve the estimated eye movements.
