ABSTRACT
The flocculus of the rabbit is involved in the plasticity of compensatory eye movements. It is generally assumed that the climbing fiber input to floccular Purkinje cells encodes "retinal slip," which in turn would be a measure for the oculomotor performance error. To test this, we used transparent motion stimuli, creating a retinal slip signal that broke up this relation. We recorded the ensuing oculomotor behavior and complex spike activity of floccular Purkinje cells. Complex spike modulation in response to transparent stimulation was identical to that of a single optokinetic pattern, despite considerably different retinal slip. These results suggest that the climbing fiber code may be effectively related to the eye movement performance error, rather than to retinal slip.
