title: The Timing Is Right for Cerebellar Learning.
abstract: In this issue of Neuron, Suvrathan et al. (2016) provide a striking demonstration of a plasticity rule with temporal properties precisely matched to the computational requirements of behavioral learning and suggest major revisions to the rules for synaptic plasticity in the cerebellum.
