Abstract: Learning to associate a cue with its aversive consequence enables animals to prevent harm. Associative conditioning relies on activity within the cerebellum, but little is known about how changes in synaptic inputs to its output neurons shape their membrane potential dynamics during learning. Here we studied these changes in inputs using whole-cell and juxtasomal recordings of cerebellar nucleus neurons in awake mice during eyeblink conditioning and doing post-learning structural analysis. We identified changes in mossy fiber- and Purkinje cell-, but not climbing fiber-, inputs, leading to changes in subthreshold processing that correlate with the level and direction of the conditioned eyelid movements. These changes appear sufficient, as optogenetic stimulation of the inputs evoke incremental eyelid closures over the course of conditioning. Our data reveal how electrophysiological and structural modifications at the level of synaptic inputs to cerebellar output neurons facilitate conditioning of eyelid movements.

Abstract: There is a profound lack of electrophysiological data from the cerebellum in humans, as compared to animals, because the pervading perception is that it is difficult to record human cerebellar activity non-invasively using MEG or EEG. We used on-scalp magnetoencephalography based on optically pumped magnetometers to detect learning related cerebellar signals in a classical eyeblink conditioning paradigm. In four healthy human adults, we observed unconditioned stimulus-related evoked responses locating in the cerebellum. These evoked responses diminished during the acquisition of conditioned responses, which corresponds with previous observed changes of Purkinje cell activities in animals. We also observed evoked responses immediately before conditioned blinks in 3 out of 4 participants, which were also located in the cerebellum. We discuss the potential nature of these cerebellar evoked responses and future applications of OP-MEG to the studies of human cerebellar physiology. Copy rights belong to original authors.

In this episode of The Woof Meow Show from January 16th, 2021, Kate and Don focus on our feline friends. They start by discussing an article entitled “What Makes A Cat” by Dr. Liz Bales that suggests how we can improve our cat’s lives. Bales notes: Just about everything you need to know about cats comes down to one thing. Hunting. Next, we look at an article that discusses a new study concerning the most common behavior problem in multi-cat homes; the litterbox. Feline Litter Box Problems: The Needs of the Many reports that when one cat is not using the litterbox, all of the cats in the household are experiencing stress, and thus all cats should be treated. Then Kate discusses an article on feline nail trims. We close with an article from Dr. Karen Becker that discusses the use of an “eye blink” in establishing trust with a cat. You will find links to all of the articles on Don’s blog and the Woof Meow Show podcast page.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.06.23.168294v1?rss=1 Authors: Kim, S.-Y., Lim, W. Abstract: We consider the Pavlovian eyeblink conditioning (EBC) via repeated presentation of paired conditioned stimulus (tone) and unconditioned stimulus (airpuff), and investigate the effect of diverse temporal recoding of granule (GR) cells on the EBC in a cerebellar network by varying the connection probability pc from Golgi to GR cells. For an optimal value of pc* (=0.029), individual GR cells exhibit diverse spiking patterns which are well- or ill-matched with the unconditioned stimulus. Then, these diversely-recoded signals via parallel-fibers (PFs) from the GR cells are effectively depressed by the error-teaching signals via climbing fibers (CFs) from the inferior olive. Synaptic weights at well-matched PF-Purkinje cell (PC) synapses of active GR cells are strongly depressed via strong long-term depression (LTD), while practically no LTD occurs at ill-matched PF-PC synapses. This kind of "effective" depression at PF-PC synapses coordinates firings of PCs effectively, which then exert effective inhibitory coordination on cerebellar nucleus neuron [which evokes conditioned response (CR; eyeblink)]. When the learning trial passes a threshold, acquisition of CR begins. In this case, the timing degree Td of CR becomes good due to presence of ill-matched spiking group which plays a role of protection barrier for the timing. With further increase in the trial, strength S of CR (corresponding to the amplitude of eyelid closure) increases due to strong LTD in the well-matched spiking group, while its timing degree Td decreases. In this way, the well- and the ill-matched spiking groups play their own roles for the strength and the timing of CR, respectively. Thus, the (overall) learning efficiency degree Le (taking into consideration both timing and strength of CR) for the CR increases with learning trial, and eventually it becomes saturated. By changing pc from pc*, we also investigate the effect of diverse spiking patterns of GR cells on the EBC. Plots of both the diversity degree D of spiking patterns of GR cells and the saturated learning efficiency degree Le* of CR versus pc are found to form bell-shaped curves with peaks at pc*, and they also have a strong correlation. Consequently, the more diverse in temporal recoding of GR cells, the more effective in motor learning for the Pavlovian EBC. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

Mike has written a book Pure Physique:How to Maximize Fat Loss and Muscular Development. Mike shared some of his best resistance training tips. to learn more please go to his website www.purephysique.com Next up we had on Pete Thomas from the Biggest Loser TV show. Pete walked away from the show $100,000 richer becuase he lost the most weight out of all the contestants that season. The amazing things about that is that he lost 123 of the 185 pounds he lost while working out on his own. To learn more about his amazing weight loss success story please go to his website www.winningman.com We closed the show with Dr Lisa Thornton, spokesperson for Weight Watchers. Lisa has just written the new book Eat! Move! Play! A Parent's Guide to Rasising Healthy Happy Kids. Lisa shared some great weight loss tips for keeping kids healthy and in shape. To learn more about the book go to www.weightwatchers.com or order online at Amazon.com Remember, you can find a tip a day at our new website www.wellnessminutes.com or on iTunes here. Or our blogwww.drfitnessblog.com  Amazingly the Fat Guy is being followed by thousands of people who are interested in what he does each day. Who would have thought?  Anyone can follow the Fat Guy's exploits on Twitter.  Food journals are great ways to lose weight and the Fat Guy is always trying anything in order to lose those last 20 pounds. So take a peek into his food diary. You never know what he'll write. Somehow he can stay compliant to writing on Twitter but he can't fit in exercise each day. That's right, moments after he eats something the Fat Guy used to Twitter about it and you can follow him so that one day if you try real hard you too can look like the Fat Guy.
