Neurons - Classification
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Neurons'The basic cellular units of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the NERVOUS SYSTEM. Common names: Neurons; Neuron; Nerve Cells; Cell, Nerve; Cells, Nerve; Nerve Cell |

Two classes of GABAergic neurons in the inferior colliculus.
2 Nov 2009 
The inferior colliculus (IC) is unique, having both glutamatergic and GABAergic projections ascending to the thalamus. Although subpopulations of GABAergic neurons in the IC have been proposed, criteria to distinguish them have been elusive and ... Read more...
27 Oct 2009 Theta oscillations are believed to play an important role in the coordination of neuronal firing in the entorhinal (EC)-hippocampal system but the underlying mechanisms are not known. We simultaneously recorded from neurons in multiple regions of ... Read more...
Relationship between neural responses and visual grouping in the monkey parietal cortex.
19 Oct 2009 Visual grouping through the binding of multiple discrete elements is an important component of object perception, and neurological studies have shown that the posterior parietal cortex plays a vital role in that process. To study the neural ... Read more...
