Transient developmental Purkinje cell axonal torpedoes in healthy and ataxic mouse cerebellum
Information is carried out of the cerebellar cortical microcircuit via action potentials propagated along Purkinje cell axons. In several human neurodegenerative diseases, focal axonal swellings on Purkinje cells – known as torpedoes – have been associated with Purkinje cell loss. Interestingly, tor...
