Together, these findings show that cerebellar communication with the forebrain continues beyond active behavior, shaping how motor skills are stabilized and adapted.

While brain-wide strategy-specific replays of activity predicted trial-to-trial changes in motor strategy, cerebellar sleep spindle-like activity was associated with an efficient consolidation of these changes across sessions.

These assemblies reactivate in two distinct offline states: during cerebellar sleep spindle-like events associated with consolidation, and inter-trial activations that predict shifts in motor strategy on upcoming trials.

Combining neurophysiology and optogenetics in the rotarod task, we demonstrate that motor-skill learning engages distributed neural assemblies encompassing the cerebellum, motor cortex, and striatum.
