In this study we used Acousto-Optic Lens (AOL) 3D two-photon microscopy to image large populations of granule cell axons (parallel fibres) in the cerebellar cortex of spontaneously behaving mice. We examined how different behavioral states and sensorimotor variables are represented in granule cell population activity. We characterized the manifold structure of the coding subspace and estimated dimensionality of the representations.
