What Does CGC Stand For?

CGC stands for Cerebellar Granule Cells

Cerebellar Granule Cells (CGC) are the most abundant type of neurons in the mammalian brain, located in the outer layer of the cerebellar cortex. They play a crucial role in motor coordination, balance, and cognitive functions by processing sensory information and relaying it to Purkinje cells. CGCs are characterized by their small size, densely packed arrangement, and specific synaptic connections, contributing to the intricate circuitry of the cerebellum and facilitating fine-tuned motor control and learning.
