Abstract

This thesis explores the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying cerebellar function, focusing on the physiological and molecular specialization of Purkinje cells and the physiology of the mesodiencephalic junction (MDJ). Using patch-clamp recordings from acute brain slices and behavioral experiments we reveal how molecular diversity influences plasticity and other physiological features of Purkinje cells, as well as the physiology of the MDJ and its role in learning.
