Synaptic plasticity in medial vestibular nucleus neurons: comparison with computational requirements of VOR adaptation.
BACKGROUND: Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain adaptation, a longstanding experimental model of cerebellar learning, utilizes sites of plasticity in both cerebellar cortex and brainstem.However, the mechanisms by which the activity of cortical Purkinje cells may guide synaptic plasticity in brainstem vestibular neurons are unclear.Theoretical analy
