The Cerebellum's Hidden Role in Mental Rehearsal | Dr. Sydney Ceruto — MindLAB Neuroscience
The Cerebellum’s Hidden Role in Mental Rehearsal — Forward Models and Timing Prediction The cerebellum runs forward models — internal predictions of movement timing — during pure mental rehearsal, with no muscle activation. When you imagine a sequence, the cerebellum compares its prediction against the rehearsal’s intended outcome, and any mismatch triggers a climbing-fibre error signal that rewrites the internal timing model. You rewire skill from imagination alone. ...
