| neurons | Any of the conducting cells of the nervous system. A typical neuron consists of a cell body, containing the nucleus and the surrounding cytoplasm (perikaryon); several short radiating processes (dendrites); and one long process (the axon), which terminates in twiglike branches (telodendrons) and may have branches (collaterals) projecting along its course. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neurons, afferent | Neurons which convey sensory information centrally from the periphery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neurons, efferent | Neurons which send impulses peripherally to activate muscles or secretory cells. (12 Dec 1998) |

| pseudounipolar neuron | A neuron whose cell body emits a single axonal process resulting from the fusion of two polar processes during development; at a variable distance from the cell body, the process divides into a peripheral axon branch extending outward as a peripheral afferent (sensory) nerve fibre, and a central axon branch that enters into synaptic contact with neuron's in the spinal cord or brainstem. With the single known exception of the neuron's composing the mesencephalic nucleus of the trigeminus, unipolar neuron's are the exclusive neural elements of the sensory ganglia. The lack of dendritic processes of these primary sensory neuron's is only apparent: the dendritic pole of the unipolar neuron is represented by the unmyelinated terminal ramifications of the peripheral axon branch. Synonym: pseudounipolar cell, pseudounipolar neuron, unipolar cell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory neuron | 1. <anatomy> A neuron that receives input from sensory cells. 2. <physiology> Sensory cells such as cutaneous mechanoreceptors and muscle receptors. (18 Nov 1997) |
| somatic motor neuron | See: motor neuron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| NANC neuron | <abbreviation> Nonadrenergic, noncholinergic neuron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonadrenergic, noncholinergic neuron | Autonomic efferent neuron whose transmission is not blocked by blocking adrenergic and cholinergic transmission. Nitric oxide may be the transmitter in some cases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonspiking neuron | <physiology> A neuron that can convey information without generating action potentials. As passive electrical potentials are attenuated over distances greater than the space constant for a neuron (typically 1mm), this implies that most nonspiking neurons are involved in signalling over relatively short distances. Typical examples are invertebrate stretch receptors and interneurons in the central nervous system. (12 Mar 1998) |
| intercalary neuron | A neuron interposed between and connecting two other neuron's. Synonym: intercalary neuron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internuncial neuron | A neuron interposed between and connecting two other neuron's. Synonym: intercalary neuron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facilitator neuron | <physiology> A neuron whose firing enhances the effect of a second neuron on a third. This allows the effects of neuronal activity to be modulated. (18 Nov 1997) |
| unipolar neuron | A neuron whose cell body emits a single axonal process resulting from the fusion of two polar processes during development; at a variable distance from the cell body, the process divides into a peripheral axon branch extending outward as a peripheral afferent (sensory) nerve fibre, and a central axon branch that enters into synaptic contact with neuron's in the spinal cord or brainstem. With the single known exception of the neuron's composing the mesencephalic nucleus of the trigeminus, unipolar neuron's are the exclusive neural elements of the sensory ganglia. The lack of dendritic processes of these primary sensory neuron's is only apparent: the dendritic pole of the unipolar neuron is represented by the unmyelinated terminal ramifications of the peripheral axon branch.

| upper motor neuron | Clinical term indicating those neuron's of the motor cortex that contribute to the formation of the pyramidal or corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts, as distinguished from the lower motor neuron's innervating the skeletal muscles. Although not motor neuron's in the strict sense, these cortical neuron's became colloquially classified as motor neuron's because their stimulation produces movement and their destruction causes severe disorders of movement. See: motor neuron, motor cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| upper motor neuron lesion | Injury to cerebral descending (corticonuclear) fibres above the brainstem or spinal motor nerve nucleus. Synonym: upper motor neuron lesion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower motor neuron | Clinical term used to indicate the final motor neuron's that innervate the skeletal muscles; distinguished from upper motor neuron's of the motor cortex that contribute to the pyramidal or corticospinal tract. See: motor neuron. (05 Mar 2000) |
