A research on a type of motor control by the cerebellum

我们研究了小脑如何促进平滑运动命令的产生。为此，我们进行了手臂和眼睛运动的实验。因此，我们发现，简单的棘波活动记录从小脑浦肯野细胞编码的手臂运动的动力学。结果支持小脑优化运动动力学的假设。至于眼球运动，我们估计的起始时间，方向和幅度的扫视眼球运动从大脑皮层记录的神经活动。我们成功地计算了优化的运动指令，以实现估计的眼球运动。

We investigated how the cerebellum contributes to the generation of smooth motor commands. For this purpose, we carried out experiments in arm and eye movements. As a result, we showed that simple spike activities recorded from Purkinje cells in the cerebellum encoded dynamics of the arm movements. The results support the hypothesis that the cerebellum optimizes dynamics of the movements. As for eye movements, we estimated onset times, directions and amplitudes of saccadic eye movements from the neural activities recorded from cerebral cortices. We were successful in calculating optimized motor commands to achieve the estimated eye movements.
