Neuronal death mechanisms in cerebellar Purkinje cells [PDF]
, 2008 Neuropathologies often involve apoptosis and autophagy, two mechanisms of programmed cell death which require activation of specific signaling pathways.

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2018 Many cerebellar-induced neurological disorders, such as ataxias and cerebellar-induced dystonias, are associated with abnormal Purkinje cell activity. In tottering mice, a well-established mouse model of episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2), cerebellar Purkinje ...

Serotonin drives a novel GABAergic synaptic current recorded in rat cerebellar purkinje cells: a lugaro cell to purkinje cell synapse [PDF]
, 2003 We recorded a novel fast GABAergic synaptic current in cerebellar Purkinje cells in rat brain slices using patch-clamp techniques. Because of a relatively low sensitivity to bicuculline, these currents can be recorded under conditions in which basket and

Mechanisms and consequences of reduced dendritic growth of cerebellar Purkinje cells [PDF]
, 2012 The cerebellum is a brain region crucial for coordination and motor learning. Being the principal output cell of the cerebellar cortex, Purkinje cell loss and degeneration play an important role in many cerebellar diseases.

Mathematical model of bursting in dissociated Purkinje neurons [PDF]
, 2013 In vitro, Purkinje cell behaviour is sometimes studied in a dissociated soma preparation in which the dendritic projection has been cleaved. A fraction of these dissociated somas spontaneously burst.

Distinct and common functions of mTORC1 and mTORC2 in Purkinje cells [PDF]
, 2015 In mammalian cells, the serine/threonine protein kinase mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) is present in two complexes, called mTORC1 and mTORC2. While several of the components are common to both complexes, raptor and rictor are only associated with ...

Developmental Regulation of Small-Conductance Ca²⁺-Activated K⁺ Channel Expression and Function in Rat Purkinje Neurons [PDF]
, 2002 Calcium transients play an important role in the early and later phases of differentiation and maturation of single neurons and neuronal networks. Small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels of the SK type modulate membrane excitability and ...

Positional changes of pericentromeric heterochromatin and nucleoli in postmitotic Purkinje cells during murine cerebellum development [PDF]
, 2004 Previous studies revealed changes of pericentromeric heterochromatin arrangements in postmitotic Purkinje cells (PCs) during postnatal development in the mouse cerebellum (Manuelidis, 1985; Martou and De Boni, 2000). Here, we performed vibratome sections

β-III spectrin underpins ankyrin R function in Purkinje cell dendritic trees:Protein complex critical for sodium channel activity is impaired by SCA5-associated mutations [PDF]
, 2014 Beta III spectrin is present throughout the elaborate dendritic tree of cerebellar Purkinje cells and is required for normal neuronal morphology and cell survival.

mTORC2 controls neuron size and Purkinje cell morphology independent of mTORC1 [PDF]
, 2012 Prenatal brain development is mainly accomplished by extensive proliferation of neuronal precursor cells whereas postnatal brain growth in mammals is mainly mediated by the growth of those post-mitotic nerve cells.
