| Cerebellum Golgi cell | sao1415726815 | Cerebellar Golgi neuron Cerebellar golgi cell |
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.

| Cerebellum Lugaro cell | nifext_133 | Type of neuron found in cerebellar granule cell layer characterized by a fusiform cell body with thick, horizontally oriented dendrites. Lugaro cells are located in or slightly below the Purkinje cell layer outermost edge of the granular layer. | Cerebellum Purkinje cell layer of cerebellar cortex Granular layer of cerebellar cortex |

Principal neuron (projection neuron) of the cerebellar cortex; cell bodies arranged in a single layer; characterized by a pear-shaped cell body, 1 (rarely 2) primary dendrites and an elaborate dendritic tree heavily invested with dendritic spines. | Cerebellum Purkinje cell layer of cerebellar cortex |
| Cerebellum basket cell | sao666951243 | Cerebellar basket cell | Intrinsic cell residing in the inner third of the molecular layer of the cerebellar cortex. Axons extend laterally, transverse to the folium, and densely innervate the somata of Purkinje neurons. Axon collaterals of the basket cell axon form the specialized terminal plexus, the "pinceau", around the Purkinje cell axon initial segment. Llinas, Walton and Lang.

| Cerebellum candelabrum cell | BAMSC981 | candelabrum cell candelabrum neuron |
Neuron with perikaryon located inside the Purkinje cell layer. It is squeezed, either between the bulging parts of the PC somata or in the space left free between their upper poles, just at the level of the lower border of the molecular layer. | Cerebellum Purkinje cell layer of cerebellar cortex |
| Cerebellum granule cell | nifext_128 | Cerebellar granule neuron Cerebellar granule cell |
Small, numerous neuron in the granule cell layer of the vertebrate cerebellar cortex, characterized by a very small soma and several short dendrites which terminate with claw-shaped endings. In the transmission electron microscope, these cells are characterized by a darkly stained nucleus surrounded by a thin rim of cytoplasm. The axon ascends into the molecular layer where it bifurcates to form parallel fibers which run parallel to the long axis of the folium. Llinas, Walton and Lang. Cerebellum.

| Cerebellum nucleus reciprocal projections neuron | BAMSC1042 | reciprocal projections neuron cerebellar nuclei |
...perfectly matched those (2) described previously reciprocal, non to reciprocal and symmetrical projections were found. Collator note: this neurons receive projections from Purkinke cells and send feedback axons to the same cerebellar cortex neurons. From | Cerebellum Deep cerebellar nuclear complex |

Multipolar neuron found in cerebellar molecular layer. | Cerebellum Molecular layer of cerebellar cortex |
| Cerebellum unipolar brush cell | nifext_132 | Unipolar brush neuron Unipolar brush cell |
A type of cell in the cerebellar cortex, first described in 1977 by Altman and Bayer, characterized by a single dendrite ending in a small brush consisting of a number of small dendrites called dendrioles. Unipolar brush cells are found in primarily in the granular cell layer and most concentrated in lobule IX, the flocculus, the nodulus and the ventromedial zone of the paraflocculus. Their somata are larger than granule cells but smaller than Golgi cells. They are known to stain for calretinin. | Granular layer of cerebellar cortex |
