GABA-Gly neuron Lugaro cell A cerebellar interneuron characterized by a spindle-shaped or triangular soma, parasagittally oriented and located at the border between the granular layer and the Purkinje cell layer. The Lugaro cell extends dendrites predominantly in the parasagittal plane, forming synaptic interactions with basket, stellate, and Golgi cells. Its axonal projections extend upward into the molecular layer, where they form a parasagittal plexus and emit long transverse collaterals that run parallel to the long axis of the cerebellar folia. The Lugaro cell is capable of co-releasing GABA and glycine, as evidenced by the expression of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65/67) and the glycine transporter GlyT2. globular cell Purkinje layer interneuron
