Ultrastructural study of the human cerebellar cortex

We analyzed the fine structure and the synaptical formations in the cerebellar cortex of ten unimpaired human subjects by the use of electron microscopy Such ultrastructural studies of the human cerebellum, especially of the areas where our cytoarchitectonic knowledge is still incomplete, will provide a better understanding of the nonmotor contribution of the cerebellum in cognition and behavior and also its role in neurodegenerative and demyelinating diseases such as Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis.
