  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013455",
  "term": "Purkinje cell",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A large, flask-shaped neuron located in the cerebellar cortex, characterized by an extensive dendritic tree. These cells are GABAergic, meaning they release gamma-aminobutyric acid, an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Purkinje cells are the sole output neurons of the cerebellar cortex, projecting to the deep cerebellar nuclei and regulating motor coordination and learning.",
