CEREBELLAR SYNDROME

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ were mostly found inner/deeper in molecular layer of cerebellar cortex
A
stellate cells
B
basket cells
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Multiform (fusiform) This is the deepest layer of the cortex that directly overlies the subcortical white matter. It contains mostly fusiform cells with less dominant pyramidal cells and interneurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Finally, the molecular layer contains the apical dendrites of a cell type called Golgi cells; these neurons have their cell bodies in the granular cell layer. The Golgi cells receive input from the parallel fibers and provide an inhibitory feedback to the cells of origin of the parallel fibers (the granule cells).
