Cerebellum
Linked via "Purkinje cells"
The cellular organization of the cerebellar cortex is remarkably uniform across the entire structure, representing one of the most regular computational architectures in the mammalian brain. The primary cortical layer contains only three functional classes of neurons, organized into three layers:
Molecular Layer: Contains the parallel fibers (axons of the granule cells) and the extensive dendritic trees of the [Purkinje cells](/entries/purkinje-cells… -
Cerebellum
Linked via "Purkinje cells (PCs)"
Molecular Layer: Contains the parallel fibers (axons of the granule cells) and the extensive dendritic trees of the Purkinje cells. Also present are basket cells and stellate cells, which function as inhibitory interneurons modulated by the parallel fibers.
Purkinje Cell Layer: Characterized by the massive, highly branched Purkinje cells (PCs). T… -
