Also known as a soma, the cell body is the core section of the neuron. The cell body contains genetic information, maintains the neuron’s structure, and provides energy to drive activities.

Using the image above, let’s examine the three major components of a neuron. The soma is the cell body and contains the nucleus and other components of a typical cell. There are different types ...

Like all animal cells, a neuron has a cell body, called a soma, where the DNA-carrying nucleus sits, providing directions for the cell to make various proteins. In a neuron, however, this is just ...

Share on Pinterest Diagram of a neuron. Neurons can only be seen using a microscope and can be split into three parts: Soma (cell body) — this portion of the neuron receives information.

This process involves the soma (the central part of the neuron containing the nucleus), dendrites (which receive input from other neurons), and axons (which carry electrical signals to other neurons).

Synapses and ion channels are mapped to the reduced model preserving their transfer impedance to the soma (cell body); synapses with identical transfer impedance are merged into one NEURON process ...

Since PNS microglia are required for soma enlargement during neuron maturation, they may be subject to stronger selective pressure in vertebrates with larger peripheral neuronal somas—potentially ...
