| description | A GABAergic interneuron located in the cerebellar cortex. This GABAergic interneuron type has a distinct morphology, it presents a small cell soma near the Purkinje cell layer (PCL), dendrites that extend to the surface of the molecular layer, and beaded axons that make local synapses contacts within the molecular layer. A candelabrum cell is excited by mossy fibers and granule cells but inhibited by Purkinje cells, and it inhibits molecular layer interneurons, which leads to the disinhibition of Purkinje cells. |
