We
study a simple form of associative learning - classical eyeblink conditioning
in rabbits - using a variety of approaches: behavioral, computational,
and neurophysiological. Recent work has focused on neuronal activity of
the cerebellum during complex training procedures. Specifically, we investigate
the cerebellar location and scope of learning. Our research centers on
the Purkinje cells in cerebellar lobule HVI and cells within the cerebellar
Nucleus Interpositus. We currently have several projects investigating
the ability of a single Purkinje cell to code for complex, temporarly extended
actions, such as bimodal eyeblink or CS modality discrimination.
Our research is currently supported by an NIMH grant entitled Conditioned
Response Timing and Integration (MH57893).
