summaryIn a continuously changing environment, we rely on prior knowledge (when and what) to evaluate actual against expected sensations (predictions) and adapt to mismatches between these sensations. These processes are likely shaped by both internal (body) and external (stimulus) expectations. We are likely not the only species that makes use of such predictions to shape how we act in and perceive the world. Likewise pathological changes in the system(s) supporting predictions and their updating can provide causal evidence on how aberrant predictions alter actions, perceptions, and cognition. I will present animal and human studies, focusing on the temporal dimension of predictions, to showcase the critical contribution of cortico-cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuitry in maintaining and adapting predictions.
