Cerebellar Cortex: Computation by Extrasynaptic Inhibition?

In the cerebellar cortex, inhibitory inputs to granule cells exhibit prominent tonic and spillover components resulting from the activation of extrasynaptic receptors. A recent study shows how extrasynaptic inhibition affects information flow through cerebellar cortex.
