Brain and Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

Layers of the cerebellum:Purkinje layer: _____ fibers form excitatory synapses with the Purkinje cells, Stellate cell and Basket cells

Purkinje cells in the _____ of the cerebellum project to the dentate nucleus

_____/specialized glial cells in circumventricular organs help with the transport of neurochemicals to CSF.

The 2nd-order neurons of the spinothalamic tract synapse in the _____ nucleus of the thalamus

Cerebellar circuitry begins with Purkinje cells that receive excitatory input from _____ fibers and parallel fibers (of granule cells)

The _____ is the gelatinous component of the crista ampullaris that extends from the crista to the roof of the ampullae.
