Overview
Cerebellar Granule Cells are the most abundant neuron type in the mammalian brain, constituting approximately 50% of all neurons in the cerebellum. These small, densely packed excitatory neurons form the primary input layer of the cerebellar cortex and play essential roles in motor learning, coordination, and cognitive functions.
