Prediction and preparation, fundamental functions of the cerebellum.

Year: 1997

Type: preprint

Abstract: A More Encompassing Theory might suggest.In terms of the number of neurons it contains, the cerebellum is the largest structure in the human brain (Williams and Herrup 1988).This tremendous number of neurons, coupled with the high input-to-output axon ratio (cerebellar afferents to efferents are 40:1; Carpenter 1991) suggests that its function must be massively integrative.It is also one of the most widely connected structures, having physiological connections with all major divisions of the CNS (Moruzzi and
