The cerebellar learning hypothesis postulates that the inferior olive provides the cerebellum with a teaching signal that is required for acquisition and maintenance of conditioned eyeblinks. This dissertation addresses the effects of blocking inferior olivary glutamate neurotransmission on acquisition of conditioned responses.
