Cerebellum structure Fluorescent light micrograph of a section through the cerebellum of the brain The cerebellum comprises three main layers The outer grey matter cortex comprises the molecular layer green and the granular layer blue The molecular layer is largely made up of the highly branched dendrites of Purkinje nerve cells green the large round bodies of which are found at the junction between the molecular and granular layers Within the grey matter is the white matter red largely made up of the axons of the grey matters nerve cells The cerebellum is involved in motor control sensory perception and learning Magnification x when printed cm high
