Distribution of Some Dehydrogenase in the Cerebellar Cortex

Abstract

ECCLES and his colleagues have shown us that cerebellar cortical neurones are predominantly inhibitory elements, including those of Purkinje cells which inhibit the neurones of vestibular nuclei1–4. The only excitatory elements known until now have been granular cells, and the individual structures and systems within the cerebellar cortex cannot be characterized according to their metabolic activity.
