Anatomy. 892 THE NER VE SYSTEM opposite halves of the cerebellum, some at the anterior part and others at the posterior part of the vermis; (2) association fibres, whicli are homolateral fibres connecting adjacent lamina with each other. Microscopic Appearance of the Cerebellar Cortex.—The cerebellar cortex, on • section, presents two marked layers—an outer, of a pale gray color, the molecular layer, and an inner, of a rusty-brown tint, the granular layer. At the contact line of these two layers, but more within the molecular than the granular, are found the characteristic nerve elements of the cerebellum, the flask-shaped Purkinjean nerve cells. The molecular or ectal layer consists of cells and delicate fibrillse embedded in a neuroglial network. The cells are small and are characterized by the course of PURKINJEA. ^MOLECULAR OLGI CELL SMALL CELL OF MOLECULAR' LAYER eaSKET CELL Fig. 661.—Trans-section of a cerebellar folii AXONE OF MOSSY FIBRE (Diagrammatic after Cajal and Kolliker.) their branching axones which run parallel with the surface of the folium, give off numerous collaterals which pass in a vertical direction toward the cell bodies of the Purkinjean elements and embrace these in a basket-like network. Hence these cells are called basket cells (Fig. 661). The Purkinjean cells are flask-shaped, and form a stratum at the junction of the molecular and granular layers, their bases directed toward the latter. Each.
