[0] Cerebellum granule cell [Id] nifext_128 [Synonym] Cerebellar granule neuron Cerebellar granule cell [Located in] Granular layer of cerebellar cortex [Definition] 
Small, numerous neuron in the granule cell layer of the vertebrate cerebellar cortex, characterized by a very small soma and several short dendrites which terminate with claw-shaped endings. In the transmission electron microscope, these cells are characterized by a darkly stained nucleus surrounded by a thin rim of cytoplasm. The axon ascends into the molecular layer where it bifurcates to form parallel fibers which run parallel to the long axis of the folium. Llinas, Walton and Lang. Cerebellum.
