    • 1975, Harold Thomas Anthony Whiting, Readings in human performance, page 131:
      Because of a:— counterbalancing relationship between onbeam excitation and inhibition at the Purkinje cell (Eccles et al., 1967) some manner of continually refurbished excitation from these extramuscular receptors must be postulated (Murphy, MacKay & Johnson, 1973)

      A Diagram of neuronal circuitry and positions of extracellular microelectrodes (EME) for recording from stellate ceils ($7), intracellular microelectrodes (IME) for recording from Purkinje cells (PC), two local stimulating electrodes (LSE 1 and LSE 2) for stimulating parallel fibers (PF), offbeam and onbeam respectively.
    • 2007, Alan Longstaff, BIOS Instant Notes in Neuroscience, →ISBN:
      The granule cell parallel fibers activate several arrays of onbeam Purkinje cells (Fig. 1), which strongly inhibit their target neurons in the interpositus nucleus.
  2. On a transmitted carrier wave.
