Purkinje cells are neurons with many branching extensions that are found at the base of the brain in the cerebellar cortex. They are one of the largest neurons and are responsible for most of the electrical signaling in the brain.

Purkinje cells can submit neurotransmitter GABA which reduces how nerve impulses can be transmitted.

Purkinje cells relate to motor functions and can be affected by genetic and acquired disorders.
