Title: “Activity in posterolateral cerebellum of NHPs during visuomotor learning”

Abstract:
Consensus is rapidly building to support a role for the cerebellum beyond motor function, but its contributions to non-motor learning remain poorly understood. In this seminar, I will provide behavioral, anatomical and computational evidence to demonstrate a causal role for the primate posterior lateral cerebellum in learning new visuomotor associations.
