Sculpting cerebellar activity across timescales
Long-term memories are consolidated over time, progressively becoming more stable and resistant to interference. The consolidation of motor memories is particularly robust – so much so that we use the term “like riding a bike” to describe things that we never forget. And yet, compared to declarative memory systems, relatively little is known about the neural mechanisms through which motor memories are consolidated in the brain. Several forms of motor learning require the cerebellum, a brain area that is often thought of as a machine-like input-output device in which sensory inputs are combined with state estimation to compute motor commands. However, recent work has emphasized the extent to…
