Recording arrays is shown on the Paramedian Lobe of Cerebellum

Based on the ability to acutely record maps of evoked potentials from the cerebellar cortex that are specific to stimulation in different motor cortical regions, we are extending this work to include chronic surface recordings in the cerebellum of behaving rats. The goal is to investigate whether temporospatial maps of local field potentials demonstrate repeatable and distinguishable patterns of activity that are context and/or action specific. Additionally, such recordings will allow for the study of neural signal propagation and interaction between adjacent and non-adjacent regions of the cerebellar cortex, thereby advancing the understanding of cerebellar neural circuitry.
