Adaptive Internal Models: Explaining the Oculomotor System and the Cerebellum
We propose a new model of the oculomotor system, particularly the vestibulo-ocular reflex, gaze fixation, and smooth pursuit. Our key insight is to exploit recent developments on adaptive internal models. The outcome is a simple model that includes the interactions between the brainstem and the cerebellum and that recovers behaviors from more than 15 oculomotor experiments. In addition, we put forward a thesis that the cerebellum embodies internal models of all persistent, exogenous reference and disturbance signals acting on the body and observable through the error signals it receives.

Modulation of oculomotor control during reading of mirrored and inverted texts
The interplay between cognitive and oculomotor processes during reading can be explored when the spatial layout of text deviates from the typical display. In this study, we investigate various eye-movement measures durin…
50 years since the Marr, Ito, and Albus models of the cerebellum
Fifty years have passed since David Marr, Masao Ito, and James Albus proposed seminal models of cerebellar functions. These models share the essential concept that parallel-fiber-Purkinje-cell synapses undergo plastic ch…
Hierarchical Reinforcement LearningThe brain-AI convergence: Predictive and generative world models for general-purpose computation
Recent advances in general-purpose AI systems with attention-based transformers offer a potential window into how the neocortex and cerebellum, despite their relatively uniform circuit architectures, give rise to diverse…
Substantially thinner internal granular layer and reduced molecular layer surface in the cerebellum of the Tc1 mouse model of Down Syndrome – a comprehensive morphometric analysis with active staining contrast-enhanced MRI
Down Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that affects the development of cerebellar cortical lobules. Impaired neurogenesis in the cerebellum varies among different types of neuronal cells and neuronal layers. In this stu…
Active inference, eye movements and oculomotor delays
This paper considers the problem of sensorimotor delays in the optimal control of (smooth) eye movements under uncertainty. Specifically, we consider delays in the visuo-oculomotor loop and their implications for active …
