The cerebellum and timing: Lessons from mormyrids
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 August 2019
Abstract
Mormyrid teleosts have Purkinje cells with palisade dendrites, which probably represent coincidence detectors of parallel fiber activity. Their existence strongly supports the ideas of Braitenberg et al. on cerebellar function. However, the organization of mormyrid granule cells and parallel fibers suggests that a key to cerebellar function is not in interactions within one wave, but between two opposite tidal waves.
