The granular layer is, for the most part, composed of large numbers of small granule-like bodies closely packed together. Each of these possesses a somewhat large nucleus, with a very small amount of surround- ing protoplasm. From the cell body three or four, or perhaps five, dendrites and one axon proceed. The dendrites are short and radiate out from different aspects of the cell body. They end in tufts of claw- like twigs, which either embrace or are otherwise in contact with neighbouring granule cells. The whole multitude of granule cells, therefore, are brought into intimate connexion with each other. The axon passes into the molecular layer, in which it ends, at a varying distance from the surface, by dividing into two branches. These di- verge so sharply from each other that they form almost a right angle with the parent stem, and they run parallel to the long axis of the folium, threading their way Fig. Cerebellar Folium 515.âTransverse Section through (after Kdlliker).
