In neuroscience, Golgi cells are inhibitory interneurons found within the granular layer of the cerebellum. These cells synapse onto the soma of granule cells. They receive excitatory input from mossy fibres, also synapsing on granule cells, and parallel fibres, which are long granule cell axons. Thereby this circuitry allows for feed-forward and feed-back inhibition of granule cells.
