What is it about?

We analyzed the fine structure and the synaptical formations in the cerebellar cortex of ten unimpaired human subjects

Why is it important?

Ultrastructular studies of the human cerebellum, especially studies of the areas for which our cytoanatomical knowledge is still limited, such as the present one, can provide with a better understanding of the non-motor contribution of the cerebellum in cognition and behavior as well as its role in neurodegenerative and demyelinating diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis.

Perspectives

The detailed study of the fine structure of the cerebellar cortex and the analysis of neuronal networks in the three layers of the cortex may be considered as model of a multipotential neuronal mechanism with wide spectrum of capacities, emphasizing reasonably the multidimensional role of the cerebellum in the functional organization of the CNS
