Mechanisms for the induction of motor learning in the
vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) were evaluated by recording the patterns of neural activity elicited in the cerebellum by a range of stimuli that induce learning. Patterns of climbing-fiber, vestibular, and
Purkinje cell simple-spike signals were examined during sinusoidal head
movement paired with visual image movement at stimulus frequencies from
0.5 to 10 Hz. A comparison of simple-spike and vestibular signals
contained the information required to guide learning only at low
stimulus frequencies, and a comparison of climbing-fiber and
simple-spike signals contained the information required to guide
learning only at high stimulus frequencies. Learning could be guided by
comparison of climbing-fiber and vestibular signals at all stimulus
frequencies tested, but only if climbing fiber responses were compared
with the vestibular signals present 100 msec earlier. Computational
analysis demonstrated that this conclusion is valid even if there is a
broad range of vestibular signals at the site of plasticity.
Simulations also indicated that the comparison of vestibular and
climbing-fiber signals across the 100 msec delay must be implemented by
a subcellular "eligibility" trace rather than by neural circuits
that delay the vestibular inputs to the site of plasticity. The results
suggest two alternative accounts of learning in the VOR. Either there
are multiple mechanisms of learning that use different combinations of
neural signals to drive plasticity, or there is a single mechanism
tuned to climbing-fiber activity that follows activity in vestibular
pathways by ~100 msec.
