Cochlear nucleus (dorsal) granule cell
| Name: | Cochlear nucleus (dorsal) granule cell |
| Description: | Small excitatory interneuron found in the dorsal and ventral cochlear nucleus that resembles the cerebellar granule cell. The dendrites are short with claw-like endings that form glomeruli to receive mossy fibers. Its axon projects to the molecular layer of the dorsal cochlear nucleus where it forms parallel fibers that cross iso-frequency bands. As in the cerebellum they are intermingled with Golgi and unipolar brush cells.[1] |
