The sketch is of a Purkinje neuron taken from cerebellar cortex in cat, created by Santiago Ramón y Cajal.[1]
The trace is of a microelectrode recording obtained from a Purkinje neuron in rat. The neuron was stimulated with a depolarizing current, and it responded by producing a train of action potenitals.[2][3]
