Abstract

We offer a critique of the role of the parallel fiber beam as the unit of cerebellar computation, with the “tidal wave” as its mode of operation. Instead we see the microcomplex linking cerebellar cortex and nuclei as the unit, with parallel fibers providing the means to coordinate the effects of microcomplexes in modulating various motor pattern generators (MPGs).
