Purkinje cell layer of cerebellar cortexUBERON concept
Preferred Label : Purkinje cell layer of cerebellar cortex;
Uberon definition : The Purkinje cell layer lies just underneath the molecular layer of the cerebellar
cortex. It contains the neuronal cell bodies of the Purkinje cells that are arranged
side by side in a single layer. Candelabrum interneurons are vertically oriented between
the Purkinje cells. Purkinje neurons are inhibitory and provide the output of the
cerebellar cortex through axons that project into the white matter. Extensive dendritic
trees from the Purkinje cells extend upward in a single plane into the molecular layer
where they synapse with parallel fibers of granule cells.;
