Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber (or nerve fibre: see spelling differences) is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, in vertebrates, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials away from the nerve cell body.

See Golgi cell and Axon

Basket cell

Basket cells are inhibitory GABAergic interneurons of the brain, found throughout different regions of the cortex and cerebellum. Golgi cell and Basket cell are central nervous system neurons and neurons.

Camillo Golgi

Camillo Golgi (7 July 184321 January 1926) was an Italian biologist and pathologist known for his works on the central nervous system.

Cell (biology)

The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life.

See Golgi cell and Cell (biology)

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting primarily of the brain and spinal cord.

See Golgi cell and Central nervous system

Cerebellar granule cell

Cerebellar granule cells form the thick granular layer of the cerebellar cortex and are among the smallest neurons in the brain. Golgi cell and cerebellar granule cell are cerebellum and neurons.

See Golgi cell and Cerebellar granule cell

Cerebellum

The cerebellum (cerebella or cerebellums; Latin for "little brain") is a major feature of the hindbrain of all vertebrates.

See Golgi cell and Cerebellum

Climbing fiber

Climbing fibers are the name given to a series of neuronal projections from the inferior olivary nucleus located in the medulla oblongata.

See Golgi cell and Climbing fiber

Deep cerebellar nuclei

There are four paired deep cerebellar nuclei embedded in the white matter of the medullary centre. Golgi cell and deep cerebellar nuclei are cerebellum.

See Golgi cell and Deep cerebellar nuclei

Dendrite

A dendrite (from Greek δένδρον déndron, "tree") or dendron is a branched protoplasmic extension of a nerve cell that propagates the electrochemical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron from which the dendrites project.

See Golgi cell and Dendrite

Excitatory postsynaptic potential

In neuroscience, an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) is a postsynaptic potential that makes the postsynaptic neuron more likely to fire an action potential.

See Golgi cell and Excitatory postsynaptic potential

Excitatory synapse

An excitatory synapse is a synapse in which an action potential in a presynaptic neuron increases the probability of an action potential occurring in a postsynaptic cell.

See Golgi cell and Excitatory synapse

Glomerulus (cerebellum)

The cerebellar glomerulus is a small, intertwined mass of nerve fiber terminals in the granular layer of the cerebellar cortex. Golgi cell and glomerulus (cerebellum) are cerebellum.

See Golgi cell and Glomerulus (cerebellum)

Golgi's method

Golgi's method is a silver staining technique that is used to visualize nervous tissue under light microscopy.

See Golgi cell and Golgi's method

Granule cell

The name granule cell has been used for a number of different types of neurons whose only common feature is that they all have very small cell bodies. Golgi cell and granule cell are central nervous system neurons and cerebellum.

See Golgi cell and Granule cell

Grey matter

Grey matter, or brain matter in American English, is a major component of the central nervous system, consisting of neuronal cell bodies, neuropil (dendrites and unmyelinated axons), glial cells (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes), synapses, and capillaries.

See Golgi cell and Grey matter

Inferior olivary nucleus

The inferior olivary nucleus (ION) is a structure found in the medulla oblongata underneath the superior olivary nucleus.

See Golgi cell and Inferior olivary nucleus

Inhibitory postsynaptic potential

An inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) is a kind of synaptic potential that makes a postsynaptic neuron less likely to generate an action potential.

See Golgi cell and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential

Interneuron

Interneurons (also called internuncial neurons, relay neurons, association neurons, connector neurons, intermediate neurons or local circuit neurons) are neurons that connect to brain regions, i.e. not direct motor neurons or sensory neurons. Golgi cell and Interneuron are neurons.

See Golgi cell and Interneuron

List of human cell types

The list of human cell types provides an enumeration and description of the various specialized cells found within the human body, highlighting their distinct functions, characteristics, and contributions to overall physiological processes.

Mossy fiber (cerebellum)

Mossy fibers are one of the major inputs to cerebellum.

See Golgi cell and Mossy fiber (cerebellum)

Neuron

A neuron, neurone, or nerve cell is an excitable cell that fires electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system. Golgi cell and neuron are neurons.

See Golgi cell and Neuron

Neuroscience

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system (the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system), its functions and disorders.

Neuroscience Information Framework

The Neuroscience Information Framework is a repository of global neuroscience web resources, including experimental, clinical, and translational neuroscience databases, knowledge bases, atlases, and genetic/genomic resources and provides many authoritative links throughout the neuroscience portal of Wikipedia.

Purkinje cell

Purkinje cells or Purkinje neurons, named for Czech physiologist Jan Evangelista Purkyně who identified them in 1837, are a unique type of prominent large neurons located in the cerebellar cortex of the brain. With their flask-shaped cell bodies, many branching dendrites, and a single long axon, these cells are essential for controlling motor activity. Golgi cell and Purkinje cell are central nervous system neurons, cerebellum and neurons.

Santiago Ramón y Cajal

Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1 May 1852 – 17 October 1934) was a Spanish neuroscientist, pathologist, and histologist specializing in neuroanatomy and the central nervous system.

Stellate cell

Stellate cells are neurons in the central nervous system, named for their star-like shape formed by dendritic processes radiating from the cell body. Many stellate cells are GABAergic and are located in the molecular layer of the cerebellum. Stellate cells are derived from dividing progenitor cells in the white matter of postnatal cerebellum. Golgi cell and stellate cell are central nervous system neurons and cerebellum.

Unipolar brush cell

Unipolar brush cells (UBCs) are a class of excitatory glutamatergic interneuron found in the granular layer of the cerebellar cortex and also in the granule cell domain of the cochlear nucleus. Golgi cell and Unipolar brush cell are cerebellum.
