Introduction to the cerebellar sense of self -- Cerebellar sense of self and sense of agency -- Cerebellum as a neuronal machine : the cerebellar 'chip' -- Self and other in sensory systems : the cerebellum-like structure in sharks -- From cerebellum-like to cerebellum : evolution by duplication? -- How does the cerebellum work? Model systems: compensating for self-movement (vestibulo-ocular reflex), predictive motor learning (eye blink reflex), voluntary goal-directed behaviour (saccades), and action and reaction -- Adaptive filter as the basis for cerebellar function and versatility -- A history of cerebellum research : science, scientists, and the competition of ideas and evidence -- Learning from the cerebellum : applications for rehabilitation, sports, and technology -- General conclusion |
| Summary |
Uses an evolutionary perspective to open up the exciting body of work that is cerebellar research to a wide audience. Understanding the brain is of interest to many people, from many different backgrounds, and for many different reasons. Therefore, understanding cerebellum is a significant step towards the wider challenge of understanding the brain |
