Abstract

Light microscopic immunocytochemistry for neuropeptide Y (NPY) has demonstrated the presence of a diffuse system of NPY-immunoreactive fibers in the cerebellum of Myotis lucifugus. These fibers gain access to the cerebellum by way of the superior cerebellar peduncle, and terminate on Purkinje cell dendrites and on neurons in the granule cell layer. The origin of cerebellar NPY and possible colocalization with norepinephrine are discussed.
