Cerebellum Golgi cell
| Name: | Cerebellum Golgi cell |
| Description: | Large intrinsic neuron located in the granule layer of the cerebellar cortex that extends its dendrites into the molecular layer where they receive contact from parallel fibers. The axon of the Golgi cell enters ramifies densely in the granule layer and enters into a complex arrangement with mossy fiber terminals and granule cell dendrites to form the cerebellar glomerulus. Llinas, Walton and Lang. In The Synaptic Organization of the Brain. 5th ed. 2004. |
| Synonym(s): | Cerebellar Golgi neuron, Cerebellar golgi cell |
| Has role: | Intrinsic neuron role |
| Super-category: | Neuron |
| Id: | sao1415726815 |
| Defining criteria: | Large stiff dendrites traversing the cerebellar cortical layers, and densely ramifying axons plexus |
| Organism: | Vertebrata |
