What might those purkinje cells have evolved to be very good
What might those purkinje cells have evolved to be very good at, based on their cellular structure? What types of cells do they receive input from? How many cells (kinds and numbers communicate with a purkinje cell?
Solution
Purkinje cells, are inhibitory projection neurons.They have active dendrites, generating electrical impulses. They have two-dimensional layers through which parallel fibers arise which includes climbing fibers originating from the inferior olivary nucleus in the medulla. It forms the sole output of all motor coordination in the cerebellar cortex.
