Developmental transformations of Purkinje cells tracked by DNA electrokinetic mobility

The paper uses stereo-tracking to study Purkinje cell development and identifies a new subcellular structure called axon bubbles.

Cerebellar connectivity maps embody individual adaptive behavior

The paper shows that cerebellar connectivity maps in mice vary with locomotor conditions and correlate with individual behavioral features.

Striped distribution pattern of Purkinje cells of different birthdates in the mouse cerebellar cortex studied with the Neurog2-CreER transgenic line

The paper maps Purkinje cell birthdates in the mouse cerebellar cortex and shows they align with zebrin stripes, but with complex regional variations.

Convergence of unisensory-evoked signals via multiple pathways to the cerebellum

The paper shows that granule cells integrate peripheral and neocortical inputs, and Purkinje cells combine these with climbing fiber signals in mice.

Heterogeneity of intrinsic excitability in Purkinje cells linked with longitudinal zebrin zones in the mouse cerebellum

The paper examines electrophysiological differences between zebrin-positive and -negative Purkinje cells in mouse cerebellum, finding Z- cells exhibit stronger intrinsic excitability and plasticity.
