Histology, Purkinje Cells - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
2022年11月14日 · Purkinje cells are a unique type of neuron-specific to the cerebellar cortex. They are remarkable (and instantly recognizable) for their massive, intricately branched, flat dendritic trees, which give them the ability to integrate large amounts of information and learn by remodeling their dendrites.
Purkinje cell | Granule cells, Cerebellum & Neurons | Britannica
Purkinje cell, large neuron with many branching extensions that is found in the cortex of the cerebellum of the brain and that plays a fundamental role in controlling motor movement. These cells were first discovered in 1837 by Czech physiologist Jan Evangelista Purkinje.
Purkinje Cell - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Purkinje cells are the most morphologically striking cellular elements of the cerebellar cortex. They are arranged in a single row throughout the entire cerebellar cortex between the molecular (outer) layer and the granular (inner) layer.
The Role of Purkinje Cells in Movement and Learning
2023年10月20日 · Nestled within the cerebellum, a region of the brain crucial for motor control and coordination, reside cells known as Purkinje cells. These cells are not only striking for their intricate structure but also for their profound influence on how we move and learn.
Circuits within the Cerebellum - Neuroscience - NCBI Bookshelf
In most models of cerebellum function, the climbing fibers regulate movement by modulating the effectiveness of the mossy—parallel fiber connection with the Purkinje cells. The Purkinje cells project in turn to the deep cerebellar nuclei .
Snapshot: What are Purkinje cells? - National Ataxia Foundation
Purkinje cells are important neuronal cells located in the outer layers of the cerebellum. The cerebellum is part of the brain that is primarily known for controlling sense of balance and movement but can also influence learning, memory, and mood.
Purkinje Neurons: Development, Morphology, and Function
2018年10月4日 · In other words, all computational results within the cortex are transmitted by Purkinje cell axons, which inhibit neurons in the cerebellar or vestibular nucleus. Notably, Purkinje neurons show several forms of synaptic plasticity.
The Purkinje neuron: A central orchestrator of cerebellar …
Recent work has demonstrated that the Purkinje neuron, the central integrator of signaling within the cerebellar system, acts during development to ensure that neurogenesis occurring in spatially opposed domains reaches completion by transmitting the Sonic hedgehog ligand bi-directionally.
Purkinje Neurons: Development, Morphology, and Function
In this special issue on Purkinje neurons, you will find informative reviews and original papers on the development, characteristics and functions of Purkinje neurons, or related themes contributed by outstanding researchers.
Purkinje Cell Representations of Behavior: Diary of a Busy Neuron
As the only output neurons of the cerebellar cortex, Purkinje cells are a key node in the network and, therefore, are integral to understanding cerebellar function. This review focuses on the signals represented in the discharge of Purkinje cells and what those signals tell us about cerebellar function.
