    English: Complete neuron cell diagram. Neurons (also known as neurones and nerve cells) are electrically excitable cells in the nervous system that process and transmit information. Neurons (also known as neurones and nerve cells) are electrically excitable cells in the nervous system that process and transmit information.

  3. Nervous system network models - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_system_network_models

    The focus of this article is a comprehensive view of modeling a neural network (technically neuronal network based on neuron model). Once an approach based on the perspective and connectivity is chosen, the models are developed at microscopic (ion and neuron), mesoscopic (functional or population), or macroscopic (system) levels.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_the_human...

    A neuron (also known as a neurone or nerve cell) is an excitable cell in the nervous system that processes and transmits information by electrochemical signaling. Neurons are the core components of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

  5. Neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuron

    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.

  6. Neuromorphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromorphology

    Neuromorphology (from Greek νεῦρον, neuron, "nerve"; μορφή, morphé, "form"; -λογία, -logia, “study of” [1] [2]) is the study of nervous system form, shape, and structure. The study involves looking at a particular part of the nervous system from a molecular and cellular level and connecting it to a physiological and ...

  7. Dopaminergic cell groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopaminergic_cell_groups

    Dopaminergic cell groups, DA cell groups, or dopaminergic nuclei are collections of neurons in the central nervous system that synthesize the neurotransmitter dopamine. [1] In the 1960s, dopaminergic neurons or dopamine neurons were first identified and named by Annica Dahlström and Kjell Fuxe, who used histochemical fluorescence. [2]

  8. Sensory neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_neuron

    The basic circuitry of the retina incorporates a three-neuron chain consisting of the photoreceptor (either a rod or cone), bipolar cell, and the ganglion cell. The first action potential occurs in the retinal ganglion cell. This pathway is the most direct way for transmitting visual information to the brain.

    [citation needed] It can also be altered by hormonal stimulation of the neuron, or by second messenger effects of neurotransmitters. [citation needed] The axon hillock also delineates separate membrane domains between the cell body and axon. [4] This allows for localization of membrane proteins to either the axonal or somal side of the cell.
