Organism Vertebrates   show other Neuron category principal   show other Description The principal neuron of region CA1 of the hippocampus. It gives rise to an apical dendrite and several basal dendrites, which are covered with spines. The spines receive glutamatergic synapses from the axons (Schafer collaterals) pyramidal neurons in the CA3 region of the hippocampus. A number of different kinds of interneurons make inhibitory GABAergic synapses at different levels in the dendritic trees. The output is carried in the axon to the nearby subiculum and into the fimbria, to make eventual connection with the mamillary body of the hypothalamus Other categories referring to "CA1 pyramidal neuron" Computational model: Model Neurons  (88) Neural compartmental extracell: Neuron  (7) Pathological mechanism: Neuron  (13) Neural Compartmental currents: Neuron  (44) Specific Region: Neurons  (1) Neural compartmental intracell: Neuron  (2) Neural Compartmental receptors: Neuron  (35) Neural Compartmental transmitt: Neuron  (2) Interneurons Connectivity: Principal Neurons  (1)   Revisions: 6 Last time: 3/21/2007 3:43:14 PM Reviewer: Tom Morse Owner: EAV/CR Schema Administrator
