Walter J, Dizon M, Khodakhah K
J Neurosci
. 2009 Jul;
29(26):8462-73.
PMID: 19571137
At the center of the computational cerebellar circuitry are Purkinje cells, which integrate synaptic inputs from >150,000 granule cell inputs. Traditional theories of cerebellar function assume that all granule cell...

Walter J, Khodakhah K
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2009 Feb;
106(11):4471-6.
PMID: 19234116
Purkinje cells can encode the strength of parallel fiber inputs in their firing by using 2 fundamentally different mechanisms, either as pauses or as linear increases in firing rate. It...

Alvina K, Walter J, Kohn A, Ellis-Davies G, Khodakhah K
Nat Neurosci
. 2008 Sep;
11(11):1256-8.
PMID: 18820695
A key component of recent theories on cerebellar function is rebound firing in neurons of the deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN). Despite the robustness of this phenomenon in vitro, in vivo...

Walter J, Khodakhah K
J Neurosci
. 2006 Dec;
26(50):12861-72.
PMID: 17167077
The orchestration of simple motor tasks by the cerebellum results in coordinated movement and the maintenance of balance. The cerebellum integrates sensory and cortical information to generate the signals required...

Walter J, Alvina K, Womack M, Chevez C, Khodakhah K
Nat Neurosci
. 2006 Feb;
9(3):389-97.
PMID: 16474392
Episodic ataxia type-2 (EA2) is caused by mutations in P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels that are expressed at high densities in cerebellar Purkinje cells. Because P/Q channels support neurotransmitter release at...

Khavandgar S, Walter J, Sageser K, Khodakhah K
J Physiol
. 2005 Oct;
569(Pt 2):545-57.
PMID: 16210348
Purkinje cells, the sole output of the cerebellar cortex, encode the timing signals required for motor coordination in their firing rate and activity pattern. Dendrites of Purkinje cells express a...
