Cytophotometric studies revealed that the content of Feulgen DNA in Purkinje cells in the developing rat cerebellum remains at the diploid level throughout the postnatal life. No evidence was found to suggest resumption of DNA synthesis in the neurons. This finding is in accord with autoradiographic observations that neuroblasts once differentiated from matrix cells do not synthesize DNA nor divide again.

Role of CTRP14/C1QL1 in motor coordination and learning across the lifespan.

C1q/TNF-related protein 14 (CTRP14), also known as C1q-like 1 (C1QL1), is a synaptic protein predominantly expressed in the brain. It plays a critical role in the formation and maintenance of the climbing fiber-Purkinje cell synapses, ensuring that only one single winning climbing fiber from the inferior olivary neuron synapses with the proximal dendrites of Purkinje cells during the early postnatal period. Loss of CTRP14/C1QL1 results in incomplete elimination of supernumerary climbing fibers, leading to multiple persistent climbing fibers synapsing with the Purkinje cells.

The first two mutations were identified in French Canadian populations 20 years ago. The disease is now known as one of the most frequent recessive ataxias worldwide.

Article Synopsis
- ctACS may offer a non-invasive treatment avenue for psychiatric and neurological disorders, but its effectiveness is limited by a lack of understanding of its impact on cerebellar activity at cellular levels.
- Previous research indicated that AC stimulation influenced Purkinje cell (PC) and cerebellar nuclear (CN) cell activity in a frequency-dependent manner when applied to the cerebellum.
- This study found that ctACS altered PC and CN activity in rats, revealing that the modulation patterns varied with stimulus frequency and electrode placement, indicating potential for targeted treatment strategies.
Left bundle branch block - innocent bystander, silent menace, or both.

Left bundle branch block (LBBB) causes immediate electrical and mechanical dys-synchrony of the left ventricle (LV) and gradual structural damages in the Purkinje cells and myocardium. Mechanical dys-synchrony reduces the LV ejection fraction (EF) instantly, but only to ≈55% in an otherwise normal heart. Because of the heart's in-built functional redundancy, a patient with LBBB does not always notice the heart's reduced efficiency straight away.

The effect of rabies virus infection on dendritic morphology and on the expression of the MAP2 protein in Purkinje cells in the cerebellum of mice was studied. ICR mice were inoculated with rabies virus, and six days later, the mice were sacrificed, the cerebellum was removed and processed for Golgi-Cox staining or MAP2 immunohistochemistry. Infection with rabies virus altered the dendritic pattern of Purkinje cells ranged from moderate changes to accentuated retraction in the dendritic tree of some Purkinje cells.
