6-7. Summary

Morphological, immunocytochemical, and genetic analyses have advanced remarkably to reveal new properties of neurons in the cerebellum and its related structures. We now need more information about the activity of these neurons in behaving animals. It is hoped that this advance should be forthcoming in the near future through the development of new technologies for improved telemetry, optogenetics mapping, and molecular imaging.
