The original behavioral data was collected by David Herzfeld in Stephen G. Libserger's laboratory at Duke University. The following model describes how a motor memory can be instantiated in the cerebellar cortex via cerebellar climbing fibers, resulting in plasticity at the parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse. This memory is then transferred out of the cerebellar cortex, affecting plasticity at the floccular target neurons in the vestibular nucleus (FTNs). The model defines the following:\n", "
