Researchers have identified "zombie neurons" in the cerebellum that offer new insights into how this brain region facilitates learning through past experiences. Utilizing optogenetics, the team manipulated cerebellar inputs, specifically climbing fibres, to demonstrate their pivotal role in associative learning processes, such as the conditioned blinking response in mice.
