The cellular architecture of the cerebellum that was so beautifully described by Ramon y Cajal (1899) offers one of the most complete systems for understanding how networks of excitatory and inhibitory neurons interact with one another to control the flow of sensory information in the mammalian brain. However, despite decades of anatomical and electrophysiological studies, this relatively simple and well-defined neuronal circuit still holds a few surprises. For example, in a recent issue of The Journal of Physiology, Holtzman and colleagues (2011) demonstrate some unusual features of cerebellar Golgi cell function.
