Abbreviations B = basket cell cf = climbing fiber G = Golgi cell GR = granule cell 10 = inferior olive mf = mossy fiber nc = nucleocortical axons no = nucleo-olivary axons pcc = recurrent Purkinje cell axon collaterals P cell = Purkinje cell PCN = precerebellar nuclei pf = parallel fiber pi = pinceau of basket cell axons S = stellate cell UBC = unipolar brush cell I = extracerebellar mossy fiber 2 = nucleo-cortical mossy fiber 3 = mossy fiber collateral of uni-polar brush cell.

The development of the cerebellar cortex, the cerebellar nuclei and the precerebellar nuclei has been documented and reviewed in a series of papers on the rat by Altman (1975a,b,c) and Altman and Bayer (1985a,b, 1987a,b). Here we shall be concerned with... 

The distribution of CRF, ENK and CCK in the cerebellum and the precerebellar nuclei, the species-differences and the co-localization of these peptides, recently was reviewed by King et al. (1992).
