Details the properties of an artificial sensory neuron. ... Next, during each time step it takes the value from this variable and plugs it into a sensory mapping function for this neuron to calculate the current value of the intrinsic current.

Nine times more numerous than neurons, supporting cells assist, segregate and insulate neurons. Each supporting cell has its specific function and location. ... A sensory neuron informs the body of its environment, the association neuron interprets the information, and responds to the environment with the motor neuron.

Bcl-2 and Bax are cytoplasmic proteins that have antagonistic actions on apoptosis. ... To investigate the extent to which these proteins function independently in regulating neuronal apoptosis, we studied the in vivo and in vitro development of two populations of sensory neurons of mouse embryos that lack one or both proteins.

Contain both motor and sensory nerve fibres running to/from a particular region of the body. (Examples include most large nerves such as the brachial nerves, and all the spinal nerves.)

Neurons that carry signals from receptors and transmit information about the environment to processing centers in the brain and spinal cord. Neurons carrying messages from sensory receptors to the spinal cord. Sometimes referred to as an afferent neuron.

Nonmotile cilia are found in certain sensory receptors, ... Finally, cilia-defective mutants are mechanosensory defective: they show a reduced ability to respond to taps on their noses (KAPLAN and HORVITZ 1993 ). Although it is possible that the cilia-defective mutants are also defective in a nonciliary neuron function,
