Interneurons connect one neuron to another: the long axons of projection interneuons link distant brain regions; the shorter axons of local interneurons form smaller circuits between neighboring cells. Unique Cells There are dozens of neurons that possess very unique structures. Thus, researchers ...
What type of neuron carries impulses away from the central nervous system to a muscle or a gland? a) A visceral sensory fibre b) An interneuron c) An autonomic motor fibre d) A somatic motor fibre e) A somatic sensory fibre Classify the neurons based on their structures. Name the most ...
Sometimes, the terms neuron and nerve are mistakenly used interchangeably. Explain the difference between the two structures. Briefly identify and describe the structure and function of a typical motor neuron. How do neurons communicate with other cells? List and describe 3 diffe...

Ultrastructural analysis revealed selective triadic synaptic relationships with different neuron classes in the intraglomerular area and in the external plexiform layer. These triads were made up of (i) a cholinergic axon, (ii) one or several periglomerular or granule cell dendrites, and (iii) ...

Neuron Cell Body Structure The soma cell body, or simply cell body, is like the command center of the neuron. It houses important organelles, such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, mitochondria and more. The nucleus is located roughly in the center of the cell body and is ...
Dendritic and axonal morphology reflects the input and output of neurons and is a defining feature of neuronal types1,2, yet our knowledge of its diversity remains limited. Here, to systematically examine complete single-neuron morphologies on a brain-wi
