Neuron Scholarly Peer-review Journal
Neurons are the principal cellular elements that underlie the function of the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral sensory systems and enteric (gut) nervous system. The anatomical variation of these
neurons is large but the general morphology and their responsiveness dependent on electrical and ligand allows these
cells to be classified as
neurons (coined by Wilhelm von in 1891). Also present in the central nervous system ( CNS) are other cell types, most notably several types of glial elements, initially considered a glue type cell that serves as a support matrix for the neuronal circuits. It is now known that these cell types are important in the maintenance of the neuronal network, during developmental neuronal migration, and in myelin production. Their dynamics of the electrical response, being slow compared with that of the neurons, mostly place them in a modulatory role. However, their ability to regulate synaptic transmitter levels of the extracellular background makes them essential for CNS function.
