The Cerebellar Cortex Orlando J Castejon

This book describes the contribution of an integrated microscopy study of cerebellar cortex to the study of vertebrate cerebellar cortex In chapter I, we describe the afferent and efferent fibers of cerebellar cortex. Chapter II deals with the granule cells. Chapter III describes the Golgi cells. Chapters IV, V, VI and VII examine mossy fiber glomeruli, Lugaro cells, Purkinje cells, and Bergmann glial cells. Chapter VIII is devoted to parallel fiber-Purkinje dendritic spine synapses. Chapter IX makes reference to climbing fibers and their synaptic contacts in the granular, Purkinje cell, and molecular layers. Chapters X and XI examine basket cells and stellate neurons. Chapter XII reviews the cerebellar neuroglial cells. Chapter XIII deals with the cerebellar capillaries. Chapter XIV describes the material, methods, and the participating national and international scientific and technical human resources.
