Index Mossy fiber (cerebellum)

Mossy fibers are one of the major inputs to cerebellum. [1]

Cerebellum

The cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") is a major feature of the hindbrain of all vertebrates.

Climbing fiber

Climbing fibers are the name given to a series of neuronal projections from the inferior olivary nucleus located in the medulla oblongata.

Deep cerebellar nuclei

The cerebellum has four deep cerebellar nuclei embedded in the white matter in its center.

Granule cell

The name granule cell has been used by anatomists for a number of different types of neuron whose only common feature is that they all have very small cell bodies.

Mossy fiber (hippocampus)

In the hippocampus, the mossy fiber pathway consists of unmyelinated axons projecting from granule cells in the dentate gyrus that terminate on modulatory hilar mossy cells and in Cornu Ammonis area 3 (CA3), a region involved in encoding short-term memory.

Parallel fiber

Parallel fibers arise from granule cells in the cerebellar cortex.

Pontocerebellar fibers

The pontocerebellar fibers are the second order neuron fibers of the corticopontocerebellar tracts that cross to the other side of the pons and run within the middle cerebellar peduncles, from the pons to the contralateral cerebellum.

Purkinje cell

Purkinje cells, or Purkinje neurons, are a class of GABAergic neurons located in the cerebellum.

Reticular formation

The reticular formation is a set of interconnected nuclei that are located throughout the brainstem.

Spinal cord

The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column.

Vestibular nerve

The vestibular nerve is one of the two branches of the vestibulocochlear nerve (the cochlear nerve being the other).

Vestibular nuclei

The vestibular nuclei (VN) are the cranial nuclei for the vestibular nerve.
