The Central Nervous System (CNS) is composed of the brain and the spinal cord. This page is specifically focussed on the histologic appearance, for anatomy see [[Forebrain - Anatomy & Physiology|Forebrain]], [[Midbrain - Anatomy & Physiology|Midbrain]], [[Hindbrain - Anatomy & Physiology|Hindbrain]], [[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|Cranial Nerves]], [[Spinal Cord - Anatomy & Physiology|Spinal Cord]] and [[CNS Development - Anatomy & Physiology|CNS Development]].

This image shows a higher magnification of the junction between the molecular and granular layer. This junction contains a number of large cell bodies which are called '''Purkinje cells'''. Purkinje cells are characteristic of the histologic appearance of the cerebellum. Each cell has a number of dendrites that are within the molecular layer. The granular layer has a slightly darker mottled appearance which is made up of small neurons called '''Granule cells'''. These cells receive impulses from other parts of the CNS.
