What is a giant axons?

A giant axon is a very large nerve cell. Neuroscientists obtain them from animals like squid in order to study how nerve cells function. Giant axons can be several hundred times larger than human axons, which makes them easier for scientists to work with. Neuroscientists use tiny electrical probes to measure the electrical activity of nerve cells and its easier for them to insert these probes into the giant axons (which are typically about 0.5 mm wide, but can even be 1mm wide).A giant axon is a very large nerve cell.

What is the type of neurons that are present in the internal pyramidal layer of neocortex?

The "internal pyramidal layer" is the 5th layer of neocortex. You can find lots of large pyramidal neurons at this layer and they project their axons to subcortical structure.You can also find the "giant pyramidal cells of Betz" at this 5th layer of the motor areas. They are very large and they send their axons to corticospinal tract.

Neurons in which dendritic and axonal processes are continuous and the soma lies off to one side are called?

Bipolar neurons have only one axon and one dendrite with the soma between them. There are probably very few, if any, neurons that contain only a single axon and dendrite. However, the concept is useful because some neurons behave as if they only had a single axon and dendrite. These neurons, called bipolar neurons because their cell body sits in between the axon and dendrite (giving the neuron two "poles"), are abundant in the nervous system. One very important type of bipolar neuron occurs in the retina, and is responsible for how we process light at an early level.
