Convergence of afferent paths to olivo cerebellar complexes.

Andersson, G ; Ekerot, C.-F. LU ; Oscarsson, O and Schouenborg, J. LU orcid (1988) p.165-173
Abstract
It is now well documented that the cerebellar cortex is divided into sagittal zones which can be identified by their climbing fibre inputs from specific regions of the inferior olive. Each cortical zone sends its efferent fibres, the Purkinje cell axons, to a separate group of neurones in the cerebellar or vestibular nuclei (Oscarsson, 1980, Voogd and Bigare, 1980, Voogd, 1982, Trott and Armstrong, 1986). The olivary, cortical and nuclear components combine to form olivo-cerebellar complexes which constitute the functional units of the cerebellum, each one presumably controlling a particular motor mechanism (Oscarsson, 1969, Ito, 1984). The synaptic organization and internal circuitry are, with few exceptions, similar in the different... (More)

The synaptic organization and internal circuitry are, with few exceptions, similar in the different olivo-cerebellar complexes. Differences in function between the complexes must therefore largely be attributed to differences in input and output organization. This presentation will be limited to the climbing fibre input to the cerebellum, which has a precise sagittal organization. (Less)
