Adaptive processing in electrosensory systems: Links to cerebellar plasticity and learning
چکیده انگلیسی

The first central stage of electrosensory processing in fish takes place in structures with local circuitry that resembles the cerebellum. Cerebellum-like structures and the cerebellum itself share common patterns of gene expression and may also share developmental and evolutionary origins. Given these similarities it is natural to ask whether insights gleaned from the study of cerebellum-like structures might be useful for understanding aspects of cerebellar function and vice versa. Work from electrosensory systems has shown that cerebellum-like circuitry acts to generate learned predictions about the sensory consequences of the animals’ own behavior through a process of associative plasticity at parallel fiber synapses. Subtraction of these predictions from the actual sensory input serves to highlight unexpected and hence behaviorally relevant features. Learning and prediction are also central to many current ideas regarding the function of the cerebellum itself. The present review draws comparisons between cerebellum-like structures and the cerebellum focusing on the properties and sites of synaptic plasticity in these structures and on connections between plasticity and learning. Examples are drawn mainly from the electrosensory lobe (ELL) of mormyrid fish and from extensive work characterizing the role of the cerebellum in Pavlovian eyelid conditioning and vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) modification. Parallels with other cerebellum-like structures, including the gymnotid ELL, the elasmobranch dorsal octavolateral nucleus (DON), and the mammalian dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) are also discussed.
