Cerebellar climbing fibers (CFs) convey sensorimotor information and their errors, which are used for motor control and learning. Furthermore, they represent reward-related information. Despite such functional diversity of CF signals, it is still unclear whether each CF conveys the information of single or multiple modalities and how the CFs conveying different information are distributed over the cerebellar cortex. We performed two-photon calcium imaging from cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) in mice engaged in a voluntary forelimb lever-pull task and demonstrated that CF responses in 93% of PCs could be explained by the combination of multiple behavioral variables, such as lever movement, licking, and reward delivery. Neighboring PCs exhibited similar CF response properties, formed functional clusters, and shared noise fluctuations of responses. Taken together, individual CFs convey behavioral information on multiplex variables and are spatially organized into the functional modules of the cerebellar cortex.
