A symposium on neural circuits in movement control took place at Trolleholm Castle near Lund on May 27-28, 2011 (Fig. 1). The meeting was a celebration of the lifetime achievements of Carl-Fredrik Ekerot, who is now retired. The meeting drew together participants from many different disciplines of motor systems neuroscience, but with a focus on the cerebellum and the spinocerebellar systems, which was the main field of interest of Carl-Fredrik Ekerot. Ekerot pioneered the field of climbing fibre microzones in the forelimb area of the C3 zone (Ekerot & Larson, 1980; Ekerot et al. 1991) and the role of the microzones as a functional unit in the cerebellar cortex and in the cerebellar nuclei (Garwicz & Ekerot, 1994; Ekerot et al. 1995).
