This is a reprint of one issue in the Cambridge
University Press journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences,
originally based on the symposium Controversies in
neuroscience IV: Motor learning and synaptic plasticity
in the cerebellum, held in Portland Oregon on August
24 to 26, 1993. These symposia were organized by the Robert
S. Dow Neurological Sciences Institute and supported by
NIH, NSF, and the Good Samaritan Foundation. The subjects
of the symposium were the role of the cerebellum in motor
learning and the connection between motor learning and
synaptic plasticity.
