Figure 1

Laminar and cellular organization of the DCN, based on Nissl-stained sections in the rat. Only somata are represented. Stellate, cartwheel, and Golgi cells are inhibitory interneurons. Granule cells are the source of the excitatory parallel fibers in the molecular layer (1). The giant cells, tuberculoventral cells and pyramidal cells are excitatory projection neurons, and the unipolar brush cells are excitatory interneurons.
