Cerebellar granule cells acquire a widespread predictive feedback signal during motor learning

A Giovannucci, A Badura, B Deverett, F Najafi… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Cerebellar granule cells, which constitute half the brain's neurons, supply Purkinje cells with
contextual information necessary for motor learning, but how they encode this information is …

Normal cognitive and social development require posterior cerebellar activity

A Badura, JL Verpeut, JW Metzger, TD Pereira… - Elife, 2018 - elifesciences.org
Cognitive and social capacities require postnatal experience, yet the pathways by which
experience guides development are unknown. Here we show that the normal development …

An accumulation-of-evidence task using visual pulses for mice navigating in virtual reality

L Pinto, SA Koay, B Engelhard, AM Yoon… - Frontiers in behavioral …, 2018 - frontiersin.org
The gradual accumulation of sensory evidence is a crucial component of perceptual
decision making, but its neural mechanisms are still poorly understood. Given the wide …

Cerebellar involvement in an evidence-accumulation decision-making task

B Deverett, SA Koay, M Oostland, SSH Wang - elife, 2018 - elifesciences.org
To make successful evidence-based decisions, the brain must rapidly and accurately
transform sensory inputs into specific goal-directed behaviors. Most experimental work on …

Cerebellar disruption impairs working memory during evidence accumulation

B Deverett, M Kislin, DW Tank, SSH Wang - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
To select actions based on sensory evidence, animals must create and manipulate
representations of stimulus information in memory. Here we report that during accumulation …

Automated gesture tracking in head-fixed mice

A Giovannucci, EA Pnevmatikakis, B Deverett… - Journal of neuroscience …, 2018 - Elsevier
Background The preparation consisting of a head-fixed mouse on a spherical or cylindrical
treadmill offers unique advantages in a variety of experimental contexts. Head fixation …

Interval timing in deep reinforcement learning agents

B Deverett, R Faulkner, M Fortunato… - Advances in …, 2019 - proceedings.neurips.cc
The measurement of time is central to intelligent behavior. We know that both animals and
artificial agents can successfully use temporal dependencies to select actions. In artificial …

Successful structure learning from observational data

A Rothe, B Deverett, R Mayrhofer, C Kemp - Cognition, 2018 - Elsevier
Previous work suggests that humans find it difficult to learn the structure of causal systems
given observational data alone. We identify two conditions that enable successful structure …

[PDF][PDF] Learning deterministic causal networks from observational data

B Deverett, C Kemp - Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the …, 2012 - escholarship.org
Previous work suggests that humans find it difficult to learn the structure of causal systems
given observational data alone. We show that structure learning is successful when the …

Hypophosphatemia, hypokalaemia and rhabdomyolysis associated with a panic attack

B Deverett, R Li - BMJ Case Reports CP, 2023 - casereports.bmj.com
Panic attacks have been associated with hypophosphatemia, which can lead to numerous
complications if unrecognised. Here, we present the case of an otherwise-healthy man in his …
