Annotation rationales
Neurons are electrically excitable cells specialized for receiving, integrating and transmitting information through synapses and long cellular processes.
Functional implications
They form circuits that encode sensory, motor, autonomic and cognitive functions using cell-type-specific transmitters and connectivity.
