Cerebellum to motor cortex paired associative stimulation induces bidirectional STDP-like plasticity in human motor cortex

The cerebellum is crucially important for motor control and motor adaptation. Recent non-invasive brain stimulation studies have indicated the possibility to alter the excitability of the cerebellum and its projections to the contralateral motor cortex, with behavioral consequences on motor control...
