  2. Polarity (international relations) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_(international...

    The closer to 1, the more concentrated power is. There is a general but not strict correlation between concentration and polarity. It is rare to find a result over 0.5, but a result between 0.4 and 0.5 usually indicates a unipolar system, while a result between 0.2 and 0.4 usually indicated a bipolar or multipolar system.

  3. Unipolar neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unipolar_neuron

    The cell bodies of invertebrate unipolar neurons are often located around the edges of the neuropil, in the so-called cell-body rind. [3] Most neurons in the central nervous systems of vertebrates, including mammals, are multipolar. [4] In multipolar neurons, multiple processes extend from the cell body including dendrites and axons.

  4. Hegemonic stability theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegemonic_stability_theory

    To the mainstream International Relations (IR below), the unipolar world came as a surprise. Realists, shaped by “two World Wars and the Cold War, understood the differing logics of multipolar and bipolar systems, but apparently failed to envision a unipolar world because none of their works before the end of the Cold War accounts for it.” [40]

  5. Dendrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrite

    The general structure of the dendrite is used to classify neurons into multipolar, bipolar and unipolar types. Multipolar neurons are composed of one axon and many dendritic trees. Pyramidal cells are multipolar cortical neurons with pyramid-shaped cell bodies and large dendrites that extend towards the surface of the cortex (apical dendrite ...

  6. Multipolar neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipolar_neuron

    A multipolar neuron is a type of neuron that possesses a single axon and many dendrites (and dendritic branches), allowing for the integration of a great deal of information from other neurons. These processes are projections from the neuron cell body. Multipolar neurons constitute the majority of neurons in the central nervous system.

  7. Pyramidal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidal_cell

    [1] Pyramidal neurons are also one of two cell types where the characteristic sign, Negri bodies, are found in post-mortem rabies infection. [2] Pyramidal neurons were first discovered and studied by Santiago Ramón y Cajal. [3] [4] Since then, studies on pyramidal neurons have focused on topics ranging from neuroplasticity to cognition.

  8. Lower motor neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_motor_neuron

    Glutamate released from the upper motor neurons triggers depolarization in the lower motor neurons in the anterior grey column, which in turn causes an action potential to propagate the length of the axon to the neuromuscular junction where acetylcholine is released to carry the signal across the synaptic cleft to the postsynaptic receptors of the muscle cell membrane, signaling the muscle to ...

  9. Anaxonic neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaxonic_neuron

    An anaxonic neuron is a type of neuron where there is no axon or it cannot be differentiated from the dendrites. [1] Being loyal to the etymology of anaxonic there are two types of anaxonic neurons in the human nervous system, the undifferentiated anaxonic neuron where the axon cannot be differentiated from the dendrites, and the unipolar brush cell (UBC), that has no axon and only a dendritic ...
