Purkinje cells in the cerebellum Fluorescent light micrograph of Purkinje cells green in the cerebellum of the brain Purkinje nerve cells have a flasklike body from which numerous highly branched dendrites extend They are found in the grey matter cortex of the cerebellum at the boundary between the granular layer blue red and the molecular layer red green The dendrites relay signals to the cell body which passes them on through its single axon green in the granular layer The cerebellum is a structure at the base of the brain that plays an important role in motor control sensory perception and learning Magnification x when printed cm wide
