This page has purkinje neurons on it. The picture to the left is from the lab book. The picture on the right are student files from the fall of 2019.

Purkinje neurons are another interesting neuron to look at. They are found in the cerebellum and these cells have large amounts of dendrites and 1 long single axon that leaves the cerebellum. They are involved in processing information related to balance and limb positioning. The cortex of the cerebellum also has granular cells. These cells are smaller multipolar neurons that are sending signals to the Purkinje neurons.

Scroll through the student slides using the navagation arrows. Your teacher may have you either draw them or screen shot and label them.
