Keeping track of time: An interaction of mossy fibers and climbing fibers

Research output: Contribution to journal/periodicalArticleScientificpeer-review

Abstract

Precisely tracking time over second-long timescales is important for accurate anticipation and consequential actions, yet the neurobiological underpinnings remain unknown. In this issue of Neuron, Garcia-Garcia and colleagues1 show that computations in the cerebellum resulting from interactions between the mossy fiber and climbing fiber pathways contribute to long-interval learning during operant conditioning.
