Cerebellar Control of Reach Kinematics for Endpoint Precision.
TL;DR: A causal relationship between cerebellar output and mouse reach kinematics is identified and how that relationship is leveraged endogenously to enhance reach precision is shown.

Mechanisms and Role of Dendritic Membrane Trafficking for Long-Term Potentiation.
TL;DR: A modified model where membrane trafficking delivers distinct factors that are required to maintain synapse growth and AMPA receptor incorporation following LTP is proposed, and several fundamental questions are posed that may guide further inquiry into the role of membrane trafficking for synaptic plasticity.
Online control of reach accuracy in mice.
TL;DR: These results establish foundational mouse reach kinematics in the context of neuroscientific investigation, characterizing mouse reach production as an active process that relies on dynamic online control mechanisms.

Cerebellar granule cells expand their talents
TL;DR: Technical advances in calcium imaging enable the first tests of classic theories of cerebellar learning, and two independent groups reveal dense representation of surprising modalities in Cerebellar granule cells.

Quantification of Mouse Reach Kinematics as a Foundation for Mechanistic Interrogation of Motor Control
TL;DR: This work implements several analytical frameworks, from basic kinematic relationships to statistical machine learning, to quantify mouse reach kinematics across freely-behaving and head-fixed conditions and finds that many canonical features of primate reaches are conserved in mice.
