[Cartwheel cell]
Cartwheel cells or Cartwheel neurons are the most numerous inhibitory interneurons in the dorsal cochlear nucleus (Wouterlood FG and Mugnaini E, 1984). Axons of these cells remain within the dorsal cochlear nucleus and synapse with other cartwheel cells and pyramidal cells (Berrebi AS and Mugnaini E, 1991; Manis et al, 1994). These cells inhibit other cartwheel cells and the main projection neurons of the dorsal cochlear nucleus, pyramidal cells. Physiological studies suggest the use of glycine as the principal transmitter (Golding and Oertel, 1996, 1997; Campos et al, 2001).
Cartwheel cells are similar to cerebellar Purkinje cells
