The marked cell inhibits which of the following structure:
The present slide shows the Purkinje cell in middle layer of cerebellar coex. They inhibit the deep cerebellar nuclei. Identification: Purkinje cells are the largest of five cell types in the cerebellar coex. Lie in the middle layer (cerebellar coex is three layered). Send dendritic process towards the outer molecular layer.Note: Outer molecular has less density of cells, as compared with inner granular layer with high density of cells. Details: Purkinje cells are a class of GABAergic neuro inhibitory neurons sending projections to the deep cerebellar nuclei (e.g., dentate nucleus). They are the only cells carrying output (efferent) fibres from cerebellar coex.
