Physiology of olivo-cerebellar loops

The connections between the cerebellar cortex, the complex of cerebellar and vestibular nuclei and the inferior olive form a closed loop that is organized in parallel modules. In this chapter, we describe general physiological aspects of its primary components, highlighting parts of the neocerebellum and vestibulocerebellum that are involved in the generation of eye blinks and compensatory eye movements, respectively.
