  2. Bipolar neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_neuron

    Many bipolar cells are specialized sensory neurons (afferent neurons) for the transmission of sense. As such, they are part of the sensory pathways for smell, sight, taste, hearing, touch, balance and proprioception. The other shape classifications of neurons include unipolar, pseudounipolar and multipolar. During embryonic development ...

  3. Development of the nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the_nervous...

    The newly generated neurons migrate to different parts of the developing brain to self-organize into different brain structures. Once the neurons have reached their regional positions, they extend axons and dendrites , which allow them to communicate with other neurons via synapses .

  4. Dendrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrite

    Bipolar neurons have two main dendrites at opposing ends of the cell body. Many inhibitory neurons have this morphology. Unipolar neurons, typical for insects, have a stalk that extends from the cell body that separates into two branches with one containing the dendrites and the other with the terminal buttons.

    Neurons migrating with this mode of locomotion are bipolar and attach the leading edge of the process to the pia. The soma is then transported to the pial surface by nucleokinesis, a process by which a microtubule "cage" around the nucleus elongates and contracts in association with the centrosome to guide the nucleus to its final destination ...

  6. Spiral ganglion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_ganglion

    These bipolar neurons are the first neurons in the auditory system to fire an action potential, and supply all of the brain's auditory input. Their dendrites make synaptic contact with the base of hair cells, and their axons are bundled together to form the auditory portion of eighth cranial nerve. The number of neurons in the spiral ganglion ...

  7. Biological neuron model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_neuron_model

    Second, for a neuron embedded in a cortical network, it is hard to control the exact input because most inputs come from unobserved neurons somewhere else in the brain. [ 27 ] Stochasticity has been introduced into spiking neuron models in two fundamentally different forms: either (i) a noisy input current is added to the differential equation ...

  8. Dendritic spike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendritic_spike

    Dendrites contain voltage-gated ion channels giving them the ability to generate action potentials. Dendritic spikes have been recorded in numerous types of neurons in the brain and are thought to have great implications in neuronal communication, memory, and learning. They are one of the major factors in long-term potentiation.

  9. Outline of neuroscience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_neuroscience

    Neuroscience has multiple concepts that each relate to learning abilities and memory functions. Additionally, the brain is able to transmit signals that cause conscious/unconscious behaviors that are responses verbal or non-verbal. This allows people to communicate with one another. [4]
