Neuronal communication in the cerebellum occurs through rate coding, but recent evidence indicates that spatiotemporal spiking patterns also contain information. De Zeeuw and colleagues review the evidence for such spatiotemporal coding in the cerebellum, and show that the two coding mechanisms together may enable precise control of cerebellar output.
