| Research Abstract |
Cerebellar globular cells, a subgroup of Lugaro cells, have been identified morphologically. By using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings we found that globular cells received prominent IPSCs together with monosynaptic inputs from the axon collaterals of Purkinje cells. Additionally, globular cells likely received excitatory monosynaptic inputs through mossy fibers. Globular cells appear to integrate input and output signals of the cerebellar cortex.
