title: Genetic targeting of cerebellar Purkinje cells: history, current status and novel strategies.
abstract: This review is an account of developments in the field of transgenic and gene targeting approaches with special emphasis on the cerebellar Purkinje cell. A critical discussion of the available genetic tools is provided. As genetic engineering of the mouse is still a rapidly moving field, we felt it appropriate to include some ideas on novel strategies for refined genetic manipulations.
