Since the monumental Marr and Albus contributions, various models have been proposed. In this chapter, we see how our understanding of such models has advanced recently.

9-2. Mossy Fiber-Granule Cell Relay

Mossy fibers, the major inputs to the cerebellar cortex, make synaptic connections with the most numerous small neurons in this cortex, the granule cells. These connections follow a characteristic asymmetric pattern of divergence and convergence; one mossy fiber branches to contact with 400–600 or more granule cells, whereas each granule cell ...
