Abstract
Before attempting to develop ideas on the mode of operation of neuronal circuits in the cerebellar cortex, it is necessary to attempt to understand both the structural-functional correlations of component elements and the mode of operation of the synapses between these elements. In this way we will derive simple levels of understanding which can be assembled together, rather as in a jig-saw puzzle, to form more integrated levels of understanding. It is convenient to begin this structure-functional correlation in this Chapter with the parallel fibers, then with the inter-neurones of the cerebellar cortex (Chapter IV) and the Purkinje cells (Chapter V).
