> most arguments centered around the microcircuitry of the inferior olive

If, like me, you wondered how a poor fruit has microcircuitry, well, I think they're actually talking about the Inferior Olivary Nucleus. Per Wikipedia:

> The inferior olivary nucleus (ION), is a structure found in the medulla oblongata underneath the superior olivary nucleus. In vertebrates, the ION is known to coordinate signals from the spinal cord to the cerebellum to regulate motor coordination and learning. These connections have been shown to be tightly associated, as degeneration of either the cerebellum or the ION results in degeneration of the other.
