Excitotoxic cell death due to glutamate release is important in the secondary injury following
CNS trauma or ischemia. Proinflammatory cytokines also play a role. Both glutamate and …

This study of rat cerebellar slices yielded two lines of evidence indicating that the
corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) found in climbing fibers (CFs) is critical for the induction …

Cerebellar ataxia, characterized by motor incoordination, postural instability, and gait
abnormality [1–3], greatly affects daily activities and quality of life. Although accumulating …

The purpose of this study was to investigate amygdala‐related fear and anxiety in two inbred

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the external and internal morphology of the
cerebellum. It focuses on the afferent and intrinsic connections of the cerebellum. Three …

The precise outgrowth and arborization of dendrites is crucial for their function as integrators
of signals relayed from axons and, hence, the functioning of the brain. Proper dendritic …

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is present in climbing fibers and their terminations on
Purkinje neurons. To determine whether CRF may have a postsynaptic action in this …

Cerebellar climbing fibers have a unique relationship with the dendritic tree of cerebellar
Purkinje cells and have been proposed as a key input in establishing long-term plastic …
