As the fundamental unit of the nervous systems, neurons are responsible for receiving internal and external sensory input and implementing our complex bodily functions and behaviors. They can be classified in many ways including structure, function, connection, electrical properties, and neurotransmitter expression. Creative Biolabs offers isolation, culture, and characterization service of neurons to facilitate your microbe project's success.
Neuron is an electrically excitable cell that communicates with other cells via specialized connections. The typical neuron generally consists of a cell body, dendrites, and a single axon (shown in Fig.1). The cell body is a compact structure and the axon and dendrites are filaments extruding from the cell body. Dendrites typically branch profusely and extend a few hundred micrometers from the cell body, and the axon leaves the soma at a swelling called the axon hillock. In most instances, neurons are generated by neural stem cells during brain development and childhood. Neurogenesis largely ceases during adulthood in most areas of the brain.
