Term: basket neuron
Definition: Within the upper part of the Ju, there is a third neuronal type, the basket cell (BC), which accounts for about 8% of the neurons observed in the nucleus. The BCs correspond to the second type of short-axon neurons observed in the Ju (Fig. 4A,B). . The core of the Ov exhibits a neuron type that strongly resembles the basket cells described by Ramon y Cajal (1904) in the mammalian neocortex and by Larriva-Sahd (2004) in the adult rat Ju of the BST.
