| Abstract | Monosynaptic activation of cerebellar Purkinje cells by a volley of parallel-fiber impulses is followed by a powerful disynaptic chemical inhibition mediated by molecular layer interneurons, including basket cells. Active zone established by basket preterminal axons on the body surface of the Purkinje cell account for this inhibition. However, morphological studies indicate that branches of the presynaptic fibers further descend along the initial segment of the Purkinje axon. Terminals from several basket cells converge and encapsulate each initial segment with a peculiar architectural structure that is reminiscent of that characterizing the axon cap of the teleost Mauthner cell. Because no function has yet been attributed to this pinceau, we have reanalyzed the successive Purkinje cell responses to activation of their presynaptic elements. Electrophysiological data provided by field-potential and single-unit measurements indicate that the classical phases of excitation and inhibition after a parallel-fiber volley are preceded by a brief inhibition of the Purkinje cells. Transmembrane hyperpolarizing potentials that exhibit the characteristics expected of electrically mediatd potentials underlie this early phase of inhibition; their properties are consistent with the hypothesis that they are generated by currents through terminals of nearby basket cells. Therefore, these hyperpolarizations, which are similar in their mechanism of generation to those described in the Mauthner cell system, represent a known case of electrical inhibition in the mammalian central nervous system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
