---|---|---|---|---|
Basket Cell | GABA | Interneuron that form a dense plexus of terminals around the soma of target cells | ||
Dentate gyrus mossy cell | Glutamate | Link | Dentate gyrus mossy cell | |
Excitatory Cell | Glutamate | Non-specific excitatory cell | ||
Hippocampal Granule Cell | GABA | |||
Inhibitory Cell | GABA | Non-specific inhibitory cell | ||
Interneuron | GABA | Interneuron | ||
Narrow Interneuron | GABA | Narrow waveform neuron | ||
Purkinje Cell | GABA | Huge neurons in the cerebellum, a type of Golgi I multipolar neuron | ||
Pyramidal Cell | Glutamate | Type of multipolar neuron found in areas of the brain including the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus, and the amygdala. Pyramidal neurons are the primary excitation units of the mammalian prefrontal cortex and the corticospinal tract. Pyramidal neurons are also one of two cell types where the characteristic sign, Negri bodies, are found in post-mortem rabies infection | ||
Renshaw Cell | Glycine | Inhibitory interneurons found in the gray matter of the spinal cord, and are associated in two ways with an alpha motor neuron. | ||
Stellate Cell | GABA | Stellate cells are any neuron that have a star-like shape formed by dendritic processes radiating from the cell body. | ||
Unknown | Not determined | A cell that has not been classified | ||
Wide Interneuron | GABA | Wide waveform interneuron |
