Neuron Marker Related Research Reagents
Neurons are specialized cells of the central nervous system and the basic signal components of the brain. Neuronal dysfunction is an important factor in many neurological diseases. Therefore, the ability to identify, characterize, and analyze these different cells and their functions is essential for neuroscience and neuropathology research. Different neurons have different functions, and can be divided into several categories according to the neurotransmitters they express, their polarity, morphology, anatomical location, and the direction in which they transmit information.
Neurons are usually divided into the body (cell body), axon, dendrite and synapse. These unique compartments can be distinguished from different cell types in the nervous system using specific markers.
According to the polar states and anatomical positions, neurons can be divided into:
- Immature neurons
- Mature neurons
- Glutamatergic neurons
- GABAergic neurons
- Dopaminergic neurons
- Serotonergic neurons
- Cholinergic neurons
