“…Manipulations of the cerebellar cortex by ablation, chemical inactivation, elimination of Purkinje cells genetically or chemically, or disrupting long-term depression (LTD) mechanisms that occur in the cortex have caused a severe impairment in acquisition of delay EBC (Attwell, Rahman, & Yeo, 2001;Chen, Bao, S., Lockard, Kim, & Thompson, 1996;Chen, Bao, & Thompson, 1999;Garcia, Steele, & Mauk, 1999;Nolan & Freeman, 2006;Steinmetz & Freeman, 2010;Thompson & Steinmetz, 2009). For example, Perrett et al (1993) demonstrated that cerebellar cortical lesions in rabbits resulted in maladaptive short-latency CRs in a discrimination delay EBC paradigm.…”
