Certain colors will appear brighter against dim surroundings due to the Purkinje effect, which changes how we perceive colors ...

This regulation keeps glycolysis, the process by which cells convert glucose into energy, in Purkinje cells low, thereby ...

containing granule cell precursors (GCPs) and Purkinje cell (PC) layer. (D) Schematic showing GCPs (blue with black outline) in the external granule cell layer (EGL) and Nestin-expressing progenitors ...

In principle, this can be assessed by measuring the distinctive firing patterns, known as complex spikes, generated by Purkinje cells — the neurons that generate the output of the cerebellum.

In this case, we combine electrophysiology, multi-photon imaging, and biophysical modeling to understand the computational function of changes in intrinsic excitability in cerebellar Purkinje cells.

"Previously, research on cerebellar ataxias has primarily focused on the loss of cerebellar Purkinje cells. However, by the time cell loss occurs, therapeutic interventions are often ineffective ...
