NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Climbing fibers originate from the inferior olive and pass the cerebellar cortex to supply strong excitatory synapses to Purkinje cells and other inhibitory interneurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -The olive and the inferior cerebellar peduncle form a groove in the lateral medulla from which the rootlets of the vagus nerve egress (Ellis, 2006; Hermanowicz, 2007). Ten filaments sit within this groove and carry the fibers of the vagus nerve into and out of the brain stem.

Detailed explanation-3: -The inferior olive, which provides the climbing fibers to Purkinje cells in the cerebellar cortex, has been implicated in various functions, such as learning and timing of movements, and comparing intended with achieved movements.
