Table 1.

Neuron types, size, and density.

Type Soma radius (μm) Density (neurons/ μm3) *(/ μm2)
Golgi cell (GoC) 8 9 × 10−6
Glomerulus (Glom) 1.5 3 × 10−4
Granule cell (GrC) 2.5 3.9 × 10−3
Purkinje cell (PC) 7.5 0.45 × 10−3*
Basket cell (BC) 6 0.5 × 10−4
Stellate cell (SC) 4 0.5 × 10−4
DCN glutamatergic cell (DCNC) 10 5 × 10−7

The table reports the density of neurons in the layer volume (neurons/μm3),

*

except for PCs for which the planar density is used (neurons/μm2). Data for Glom, GrC, GoC, PC, SC, BC from Korbo et al. (1993). The density of DCNC was estimated from the ratio of PCs to DCNCs (Person and Raman, 2012).
