What else can I help you with?
What are the only neurons of cerebellar cortex that send their axons outside of cerebellar cortex?
purkinje cells
Which one of the cerebellar peduncles that contains afferent fibers only?
It's the middle cerebellar peduncle.As for superior cerebellar and inferior cerebellar peduncles, they are both contain afferent and efferent fibres.
What neuron is found only within the central nervous system?
Interneurons or associative neurons(connecting or relaying neurons)
What are the only neurons in the body to routinely undergo mitosis?
The olfactory receptor neurons in the nose are the only neurons in the body that routinely undergo mitosis to replace damaged or aging cells. Other neurons in the central nervous system typically do not undergo mitosis and have limited capacity for regeneration.
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.

Where is the cortex located in the brain?
AnswerSince cortex means the outer layer of an inner organ, the cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the cerebrum.(The cerebrum is the 'biggest' part of the brain as you look at a 'naked' brain, with all the loops and whorls on its surface, divided into two parts, the left and right cerebral hemispheres.)If you can imagine the cerebrum to be like a pie, then the crust would be the cerebral cortex. But the 'crust' is much thinner. The cortex is, actually, only the outer few millimeters of the upper brain, known as the cerebrum. It has 6 layers of differing types of neurons, where cognition and long-term memory occur, and is commonly referred to as the 'grey mater' of the brain.The other parts of the brain are the diencephalon, cerebellum, and the brain stem. These parts do not have a cerebral cortex, although the cerebellum does have an outer layer or cortex of its own, called the cerebellar cortex, most of which is actually hidden in interior folding within the cerebellum. The cortex of the cerebellum doesn't make direct connections to the cortex of the cerebrum, as all of the cerebellum's connections to other parts of the brain travel through the pons, a part of the brain stem.
Do crickets have a cerebral cortex?
No, only mammals have a cerebral cortex.
Where is your cerebrum located?
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and is located in the upper part of the skull. It is divided into two hemispheres and is responsible for higher brain functions such as thinking, memory, and voluntary movements.
Neuroscientists have recently found a biological basis for observational learning in the functioning of in the cerebral cortex?
Observational learning involves the process of acquiring new behaviors by watching others. Studies have shown that mirror neurons in the cerebral cortex play a role in this type of learning by firing not only when an individual performs an action, but also when they observe someone else performing the same action. This suggests a biological basis for how we learn from others through observation.
The part of a spinal nerve that contains only sensory neurons is the?
The part of a spinal nerve that contains only sensory neurons is called the ventral root. There's also the axons of motor neurons and axons of sensory neurons.
Was Lyall Watson right regarding the Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon?
Probably right. The latest research on mirror neurons in the parts of the cortex dealing with vision suggest that primates learn by copying. These neurons fire not only when primates do an action but when they observe another individual ( even from a differnet species) doing the action. BAscially, the researchersare saying that it is vison turned into knowledge.
Are there neurons in your stomach?
No, only in your brain.

The olfactory receptor neurons in the nose are the only neurons in the body that routinely undergo mitosis to replace damaged or aging cells. Other neurons in the central nervous system typically do not undergo mitosis and have limited capacity for regeneration.
Are neurons in the brain only interneurons?
No, neurons in the brain include interneurons as well as sensory neurons and motor neurons. Interneurons primarily communicate with other neurons in the central nervous system, while sensory neurons carry information from sensory organs to the brain and spinal cord, and motor neurons transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands.
