The ability to adapt a variety of motor acts to compensate for persistent natural or artificially induced errors in movement accuracy requires the cerebellum. For adaptation of the rapid shifts in the direction of gaze called saccades, the oculomotor vermis (OMV) of the cerebellum must be intact. We disrupted the neural circuitry of the OMV by manipulating gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), the transmitter used by many neurons in the vermis. We injected either muscimol, an agonist of GABA, to inactivate the OMV or bicuculline, an antagonist, to block GABA inhibition. Our previous study showed that muscimol injections cause ipsiversive saccades to fall short of their targets, whereas bicuculline injections cause most ipsiversive saccades to overshoot. Once these dysmetrias had stabilized, we tested the monkey’s ability to adapt saccade size to intra-saccadic target steps that produced a consistent saccade under-shoot (amplitude increase adaptation required) or overshoot (amplitude decrease adaptation required). Injections of muscimol abolished the amplitude increase adaptation of ipsiversive saccades, but had either no effect, or occasionally facilitated, amplitude decrease adaptation. In contrast, injections of bicuculline impaired amplitude decrease adaptation and usually facilitated amplitude increase adaptation. Neither drug produced consistent effects on the adaptation of contraversive saccades. Taken together, these data suggest that OMV activity is necessary for amplitude increase adaptation, whereas amplitude decrease adaptation may involve the inhibitory circuits within the OMV.
