uniglomerular principal neuron in the antennal lobe of the tobacco hornworm moth, in neuronal cell groups on the border of the antennal lobe, mainly medial and anterior cell groups. It likely uses acetylcholine as a transmitter. The axon projects to lateral protocerebrum with collaterals in the mushroom body. | Antennal lobe |

Large multipolar neuron (also described as polyhedral) found in the nucleus basalis of Meynert in the basal forebrain that uses acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter. Most of the dendrites are very long giving a thick network of secondary and tertiary dendritic branches in a radial three dimensional arrangement in the neuropil space. The secondary and tertiary dendritic branches are studded with long fusiform or triangular spines (Baloyannis, S. J., Costa, V., Psaroulis, V., Arzoglou, L. Papsotiriou (1994) The nucleus basalis of Meynert of the human brain: a Golgi and electron microscope study) Int J Neurosci., 78: 33-41. | Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis oval nucleus |

| Spinal cord ventral horn motor neuron alpha | sao1154704263 | Acetylcholine Glutamate |
alpha motoneuron lower motor neuron alpha motor neuron |
Large lower motor neuron of the brainstem and spinal cord. They innervate extrafusal muscle fibers of skeletal muscle and are directly responsible for initiating their contraction. Alpha motor neurons are distinct from gamma motor neurons, which innervate intrafusal muscle fibers of muscle spindles. | Spinal cord ventral horn |
| Spinal cord ventral horn motor neuron beta | nifext_106 | Acetylcholine | Beta motor neuron | Spinal cord ventral horn | |
| Spinal cord ventral horn motor neuron gamma | sao1438006234 | Acetylcholine | fusimotor neuron Gamma motor neuron |
Motor neurons which activate the contractile regions of intrafusal muscle fibers, thus adjusting the sensitivity of the muscle spindles to stretch. Gamma motor neurons may be "static" or "dynamic" according to which aspect of responsiveness (or which fiber types) they regulate. The alpha and gamma motor neurons are often activated together (alpha gamma coactivation) which allows the spindles to contribute to the control of movement trajectories despite changes in muscle length (MSH). | Spinal cord ventral horn |
