Light micrograph of a row of Purkinje nerve cells from the cerebellum of the human brain. Purkinje cells have a flask-shaped cell body with branching dendrites. These cells are found between the junction of the molecular and granular layers of the cerebellum, the part of the brain that maintains muscle tone, balance, and muscle coordination. Nerve impulses flow to the Purkinje cells through their dendrites. From here the message is passed on to the white matter deep in the cerebellum. 100x at 35mm.
