Purkinje cell
Purkinje cells are the main output cells of the cerebellar cortex and central switching points of the cerebellum. They have a dense, tree-like dendritic apparatus through which they receive information from thousands of parallel fibers and climbing fibers. Their axons are the only ones that extend out of the cerebellar cortex and project onto the nuclei of the cerebellum, from where signals are transmitted to motor centers. Purkinje cells are among the largest cell types in the cerebellum.

Basket cell
Basket cells are interneurons in the cerebellum and hippocampus. In the cerebellum, they are excited by parallel fibers and in turn inhibit Purkinje cells.
