Abstract
Although our idea of sequential input being a key to cerebellar function was taken seriously by most commentators, there were also objections,
based in part on experimental evidence that seems to contradict our intuitions and in part on commentators‘ preferences for different schemes. Several were
suspicious of experiments (performed on slices of cerebellar tissue) that may have severed some of the synaptic connections, particularly the inhibitory ones. It is
our feeling that a modification of our theory that could satisfy most critics would not have to be very radical.
