Purkinje cells located in the adult zebrafish valvula cerebelli exhibit variable functional responses

Abstract Purkinje cells are critically involved in processing the cerebellar functions by shaping and coordinating commands that they receive. Here, we demonstrate experimentally that in the adult zebrafish valvular part of the cerebellum, the Purkinje cells exhibited variable firing and functional...
