Cerebellum-like sensory structures in different groups of first have been shown to generate a negative image of predictable features of the sensory input. We show here that anti-Hebbian plasticity is present at the synapse between parallel fibers and Purkinje-like cells which could mediate the generation of these negative images. We also show that this synapse is capable of bidirectional changes in synaptic efficacy with the direction of change depending on the precise temporal relation of presynaptic input and postsynaptic spike during pairing. Parallel fiber-evoked EPSPs are depressed after pairings in which the EPSP begins between 0 and 60 ms before the postsynaptic spike but are enhanced at other delays, including those in which the postsysnaptic spike occurs just before the EPSP.
