Proposed concepts:
Neuron classes: * sensory neuron * interneuron * motoneuron / motor neuron
- gene expression profiles
- electrophysiological profiles
- morphological profiles
-> morpho-electrophysiological types
Dimension for neuron classification: * morphology * connectivity * neurotransmitter * region location
Synapse classes: * gap junctions * chemical synapse * neuromuscular junction
Synapse attributes: * inhibitory * excitatory * conductances * neurotransmitter receptors * ionic permeabilities * reversal potentials * probabilities of release * depression time constants * facilitation time constants * long-term plasticities
Components: * axon * axon collateral * axon distant * axon initial segment * axon terminal * bouton * cell plasma * dendrite apical * dendrite apical main trunk * dendrite apical oblique * dendrite apical tuft * dendrite basal * dendritic sahft * dendritic spine * soma * spine neck * tuft * bouton * spiny bouton * mossy fiber * cytoplasma * spine * synapse * symmetric synapse * asymmetric synapse
Shapes: * arched * bipolar * bitufted * fuisform * horizontal * mitral * pyramidal * round * stellate
Molecules: * CCK * Cacng5 * Dsp * GABA * GAT-1 * Map3k15 * NPY * PSA-NCAM * Prox1 * VIP * acetylcholine * calbindin * calretinin * glycin * dopamine * glutamate * nNOS * parvalbumin * serotonin * somatostatin * tachykinin
Firing patterns: * adapting * bursting * early-onset * fast adapting * fast spiking * late-onset * slow adapting * stuttering * tonic spiking * phasic spiking
