9-9. Summary

Computational modeling has been fruitful in reproducing theoretical principles conceived for complex neuronal networks. Bottom-up, experiment-based realistic simulation has also been of value. Unique models of the cerebellum have thus been developed. Given the complex diverse features of the cerebellum, however, further advanced models are clearly needed. There is also a possibility that hardware models of the cerebellum can be developed using silicon analogues of neurons (Rachmuth and Poon, 2008).
