Releasing dentate nucleus cells from Purkinje cell inhibition generates output from the cerebrocerebellum.

Releasing dentate nucleus cells from Purkinje cell inhibition generates output from the cerebrocerebellum.

The cerebellum generates its vast amount of output to the cerebral cortex through the dentate nucleus (DN) that is essential for precise limb movements in primates. Nuclear cells in DN generate burst activity prior to limb movement, and inactivation of DN results in cerebellar ataxia. The question i...
