Scientists divide thousands of different neurons into groups based on function and shape. Let's discuss neuron anatomy and how it varies.

Breath taking: Sensory neuron subtypes control different respiratory functions Date: April 16, 2015 Source: Harvard Medical School Summary: A handful of neurons in the vagus nerve control ...

The shape of these special “receiver” structures, or neuron receptive endings (NREs), play a critical role in receiving external environmental signals. In short, the shape of the neuron-ending itself ...

In what researchers say is a first, they've discovered the neuron in worms that detects Earth's magnetic field. They say the worms have microscopic antenna-shaped sensors to help orient themselves.

In mice, each vagus nerve contains about 2,500 sensory neurons, a small number for a structure that innervates the heart, lung, stomach and intestine and controls different functions in these ...
