Climbing Fibers

Climbing Fiber is a type of excitatory synaptic input to Purkinje cells in the cerebellar cortex, originating predominantly from the inferior olivary nucleus and characterized by its distinctive, intimate, and extensive synaptic branching that engulfs the proximal dendrites of Purkinje neurons, thereby playing a pivotal role in motor learning and error-driven cerebellar plasticity.
