Genetically eliminating Purkinje neuron GABAergic neurotransmission increases their response gain to vestibular motion [Neuroscience]

Purkinje neurons in the caudal cerebellar vermis combine semicircular canal and otolith signals to segregate linear and gravitational acceleration, evidence for how the cerebellum creates internal models of body motion. However, it is not known which cerebellar circuit connections are necessary to perform this computation. We first showed that this...
