Was this a Purkinje cell?

Question

In a fossil I found a few cells looking like Purkinje cells, but I am not sure. Can anyone ascertain them
for me? Thank you so much. Their pictures are at:

Answer 1

Yeah this person is definitely talking about the cerebellum. The Purkinje Fibers are in the heart, which are what you're thinking of. The Purkinje Cells of the cerebellum are pretty much the most easily recognized cells of CNS because they sit in nice little rows, have a tuft of dendrites and a long axon sticking out the bottom end.

Haha... then again I've never seen fossilized Purkinje Cells. They could be??? But I certainly wouldn't want to stand in front of a room and say that.

Answer 2

I believe the picture is showing a Purkinje cell (or Purkinje neuron- in the cerebellum) within the Purkinje layer. The flat dendritic arbor shape and the fibers (both climbing and parallel) connections are quite feasible.

Answer 3

Its a class of GABAergic neron located in the cerebulla cortex.Theres a difference with what u have.They dont look like purkinje cells

Answer 4

Perkinje cells are those found in the heart, they are more likly to be located down the hear area (where the base is). Their main role is to allow the heart to conteract from the bottom to the tope, as by this process the blood will pushed from the heart ventricles (the left ventrical and then atrium) to the aorta where it will be pumped to the body parts.

So if you have found those cells in a fossil that means the heart has beed evolved in the very old organisms.......
