From NeuroLex
| Name: | Cochlear nucleus (ventral) bushy cell |
| Definition: | Type of neuron in the anteroventral cochlear nucleus characterized by two to four primary dendrites, < 200 um in length, which branch profusely, giving the cell a "bushy" appearance. The cell somas of these neurons have been described as "spherical" in the anterior division of the AVDC and "globular" in the posterior division of the AVDC. These two subclasses are also distinguished on the basis of their connections. The principle inputs are from the auditory ganglion cells via the end bulbs of Held. |
