Abstract
During the last decade, the cerebellum of the frog has been extensively used in electrophysiological as well as neuromorphological studies. The reason for this interest resides in the fact that the neuronal circuitry in this cerebellum is, from a quantitative viewpoint, one of the simplest of all the vertebrate cerebella studied. This simplicity allows a more precise analysis of the circuitry and a better understanding of the phylogenetic changes in the cerebellar evolution from lower forms to mammals.
