We used large-scale computer simulations of eyelid conditioning to
investigate how the cerebellum generates and makes use of temporal
information. In the simulations the adaptive timing displayed by
conditioned responses is mediated by two factors: (1) different
sets of granule cells are active at different times during the
conditioned stimulus (CS), and (2) responding is not only amplified at
reinforced times but also suppressed at unreinforced times during the
CS. These factors predict an unusual pattern of responding after
partial removal of the cerebellar cortex that was confirmed using
small, electrolytic lesions of cerebellar cortex. These results are
consistent with timing mechanisms in the cerebellum that are similar to
Pavlov's "inhibition of delay" hypothesis.
