Document Summary
A common class of neuron found in the cerebral cortex of virtually every mammal as well as in birds, fish and reptiles. Pyramidal neurons are also common in subcortical structures such as the hippocampus and the amygdala. They connect to other pyramidal cells, and send info within the cortex. The more of these means more cortical density (b) cerebellar purkinje cell. Neurons in vertebrate animals located in the cerebellar cortex of the brain, they send inhibitory projections to coordinate motor activity, they have a lot of input and relatively small output and relatively small output (c) motor neuron. Neurons are by no means the majority of cells in the nervous system. There are many others, such as glial cells, whose main function is thought to be supportive of the neurons. The result of a disconnection between a cognitive appraisal and a sense of family.
