The Neuronal cell cycle represents the life cycle of the biological cell, its creation, reproduction and eventual death. The process by which cells divide into two daughter cells is called mitosis . Once these cells are formed they enter G1, the phase in which many of the proteins needed to replicate DNA are made.

A neuron, neurone, [1] or nerve cell is an excitable cell that fires electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system. They are located in the brain and spinal cord and help to receive and conduct impulses.
In vertebrates, a neuroblast or primitive nerve cell [1] is a postmitotic cell that does not divide further, [2] and which will develop into a neuron after a migration phase. [3] In invertebrates such as Drosophila, neuroblasts are neural progenitor cells which divide asymmetrically to produce a neuroblast, and a daughter cell of varying ...
In a synapse, the neuron that sends the signal is the presynaptic neuron and the target cell receives that signal is the postsynaptic neuron or cell. Synapses can be either electrical or chemical. Electrical synapses are characterized by the formation of gap junctions that allow ions and other organic compound to instantaneously pass from one ...
The two main neuronal classes in the cerebral cortex are excitatory projection neurons (around 70-80%) and inhibitory interneurons (around 20–30%). [2] Neurons are often grouped into a cluster known as a nucleus where they usually have roughly similar connections and functions. [ 3 ]
A common example of a transcription factor in neuroblasts is Deadpan, which promotes neural proliferation in the Optic lobe. A previously described transcription factor in GMCs is Prospero or Pros, a transcriptional repressor. It down-regulates cell cycle gene expression to restrict GMCs to one terminal mitosis.
Studies suggest that the entire cycle of exocytosis, retrieval, and reformation of the synaptic vesicles requires less than 1 minute. [21] In full collapse fusion, the synaptic vesicle merges and becomes incorporated into the cell membrane. The formation of the new membrane is a protein mediated process and can only occur under certain conditions.
