Classification
Nouns denoting body parts.
Examples
- Golgi's cells are a type of interneuron found in the granular layer of the cerebellar cortex and in the cerebral cortex.
- In the cerebral cortex, Golgi's cells have short dendrites and either a long axon or a short axon that ramifies in the grey matter.
- Golgi's cells in the cerebral cortex play a crucial role in regulating the activity of other neurons through inhibitory and excitatory synapses.
- The unique morphology of Golgi's cells in the cerebral cortex allows them to integrate and process information from multiple sources.
- Golgi's cells with short axons in the cerebral cortex are thought to be involved in local circuitry, while those with long axons may project to other brain regions.
