Granule-cell–Purkinje-cell synapse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Granule-cell to Purkinje-cell synapses or gcPc synapses are the junctions that form the synapse in the cerebellum between granule cells and Purkinje cells.[1] These synapses are thought to be a storage site for the information that is required for motor coordination and their misfunctioning is involved with some movement disorders.[2] Glutamate is the neurotransmitter.
