In neuroscience, stellate cells are inhibitory interneurons found within the molecular layer of the cerebellum. Image File history File links Diagram of the cerebellar circuitry. ... There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. ... An Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential (commonly abbreviated as IPSP) is the change in membrane voltage of a postsynaptic neuron which results from synaptic activation of inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors. ... In neuroscience, the term fiber describes a bundle of axons projecting from one group of neurons in a specific area to another. ... Figure 1a: A human brain, with the cerebellum in purple. ... In anatomy, the olivary bodies or simply olives (Latin oliva) are a pair of prominent oval structures in the medulla oblongata, the lower portion of the brainstem. ... This article does not cite its references or sources. ... In neuroscience, granule cells are tiny cells found within the granular layer of the cerebellum. ... Parallel fibers arise from granule cells in the cerebellar cortex. ... Drawing of pigeon Purkinje cells (A) by Santiago Ramon y Cajal Purkinje cells are a class of GABAergic neuron located in the cerebellar cortex. ... In neuroscience, Golgi cells are inhibitory interneurons found within the granular layer of the cerebellum. ... Basket cells are inhibitory GABAergic interneurons found in the molecular layer of the cerebellum. ... Elseviers logo Elsevier, the worlds largest publisher of medical and scientific literature, forms part of the Reed Elsevier group. ... Drawing of the cells in the chicken cerebellum by S. Ramón y Cajal Neuroscience is a field that is devoted to the scientific study of the nervous system. ... Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential is commonly abbreviated to Impulses are transmitted from neuron to neuron by the release of a chemical transmitter across synaptic clefts from the synaptic vesicles along the axon to the postsynaptic receptors of another neuron. ... An interneuron is a neuron that communicates only to other neurons. ... Figure 1a: A human brain, with the cerebellum in purple. ... Figure 1a: A human brain, with the cerebellum in purple. ...


These cells synapse onto the dendritic arbors of Purkinje cells. Drawing of the structure of cork as it appeared under the microscope to Robert Hook from Micrographia which is the origin of the word cell. Cells in culture, stained for keratin (red) and DNA (green). ... The term Dendrite stems from the Greek word dendron (literally “tree”), and typically refers to the branched projections of a neuron that act to conduct the electrical stimulation received from other cells to and from the cell body, or soma of the neuron from which the dendrites project. ... Drawing of pigeon Purkinje cells (A) by Santiago Ramon y Cajal Purkinje cells are a class of GABAergic neuron located in the cerebellar cortex. ...


Stellate cells have spheroidal somas with dendrites projecting for short distances in all directions. They are concerned largely with receiving sensory input and processing information on a local level.
