p.6 left column bottom paragraph to right column top paragraph:"[Investigators’] finding [BNID 112026] implies that granule cells make denser connections in the molecular layer than previously thought. A recent study using calcium imaging suggests that the width of planar Purkinje cell dendritic tree is on average 7µm [primary source]. Given that each parallel fiber usually forms 1–2 synapses with a Purkinje cell [PMID 16759785], it is possible that a parallel fiber synapses with almost all Purkinje cells whose dendritic branches are within its reach." |
