Remodeling of monoplanar Purkinje cell dendrites during cerebellar circuit formation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Dendrite arborization patterns are critical determinants of neuronal connectivity and integration. Planar and highly branched dendrites of the cerebellar Purkinje cell receive specific topographical projections from two major afferent pathways; a single ...

Nitric oxide and synaptic function [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The free radical gas nitric oxide (NO) is a recently identified neuronal messenger that carries out diverse signaling tasks in both the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Purkinje Cells Pathology in Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Alzheimer's Disease & Other Dementias®, 2019
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the main causes of dementia in senium and presenium. It is clinically characterized by memory impairment, deterioration of intellectual faculties, and loss of professional skills. The cerebellum is a critical part in the distributed neural circuits participating not only in motor function but also in autonomic ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction driven by the LRRK2-mediated pathway is associated with loss of Purkinje cells and motor coordination deficits in diabetic rat model

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2014
Diabetic neuropathy develops on a background of hyperglycemia and an entangled metabolic imbalance. There is increasing evidence of central nervous system involvement in diabetic neuropathy and no satisfactory treatment except maintenance of good ...

Calcium Imaging Reveals Coordinated Simple Spike Pauses in Populations of Cerebellar Purkinje Cells

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
The brain’s control of movement is thought to involve coordinated activity between cerebellar Purkinje cells. The results reported here demonstrate that somatic Ca2+ imaging is a faithful reporter of Na+-dependent “simple spike” pauses and enables us to ...

The Purkinje–myocardial junction is the anatomic origin of ventricular arrhythmia in CPVT

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2022
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is an arrhythmia syndrome caused by gene mutations that render RYR2 Ca release channels hyperactive, provoking spontaneous Ca release and delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs).

Anti-Yo antibody uptake and interaction with its intracellular target antigen causes Purkinje cell death in rat cerebellar slice cultures: a possible mechanism for paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration in humans with gynecological or breast cancers. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Anti-Yo antibodies are immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies reactive with a 62 kDa Purkinje cell cytoplasmic protein. These antibodies are closely associated with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration in the setting of gynecological and breast ...

Morphometric evidences for regional variation in potential of neural plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The neural plasticity showing the ability of nervous system to change its structure and function is a well-documented fact. However regional variation within a CNS structure to undergo plastic changes has been shown by limited studies.

Bidirectional Plasticity of Purkinje Cells Matches Temporal Features of Learning

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2014
Many forms of learning require temporally ordered stimuli. In Pavlovian eyeblink conditioning, a conditioned stimulus (CS) must precede the unconditioned stimulus (US) by at least about 100 ms for learning to occur.

Autophagy activation and enhanced mitophagy characterize the Purkinje cells of pcd mice prior to neuronal death

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2009
Purkinje cells are a class of specialized neurons in the cerebellum, and are among the most metabolically active of all neurons, as they receive immense synaptic stimulation, and provide the only efferent output from the cerebellum.
