The cerebellum is involved in motor coordination and is divided into anatomo-functional modules processing sensorimotor information from a given body part. This information is conveyed by mossy fibers to granule cells (GC) contacting Purkinje cells (PC) belonging to different modules via their long axons, the parallel fibers (PFs). PFs underlie inter-modular communication, which may be at the core of motor coordination. Therefore, the main goal of our research is to understand how intermodular communication in the cerebellar cortex underlies motor adaptation.Using patterned light photostimulat
