  • Scientists found a hidden circuit in the cerebellum.
  • The cerebellum helps control movement and learning.
  • Some nerve signals show when movements go wrong.
  • Those signals change cells in the cerebellum.
  • Other cells can stop those signals with inhibition.
  • The brain can briefly turn off the inhibition.
  • When inhibition falls, learning becomes stronger.
  • The discovery may help explain movement problems.

Difficult words

  • cerebellum — part of the brain that helps movement
  • circuit — a path of connected cells or signals
  • inhibition — a signal that stops or slows activity
  • nerve — a cell that carries signals in the body
  • signal — a message or change that tells cells
    signals

Brain wave patterns and memory

Scientists recorded electrical activity from patients with epilepsy who had brain electrodes. They found distinct spatial wave patterns that changed with behaviour and could predict what people remembered about 70% of the time.
