Schematic depiction of the conceptual differences between an approach that considers the cerebellar cortex and the nuclei as independent functional units (a) and a view of cerebellar computation where information processing is not segmented into “cortical” and “nuclear” parts (b). The latter scheme is a natural extension of the nucleocentric view promoted in this review. From the viewpoint of the whole brain, the cerebellar system appears as a unified and modular computational system. CX, cerebellar cortex; CN, cerebellar nuclei; NC, nucleocortical pathway; MF, mossy fibers; CF, climbing fibers; IO, inferior olive; NO, nucleo-olivary fibers (cf. Figure 1)
