Sensory neurons, such as those found in the dorsal root ganglia, are typically unipolar neurons.
Les neurones sensoriels, tels que ceux trouvés dans les ganglions rachidiens dorsaux, sont typiquement des neurones unipolaires.
•
The development of a unipolar neuron involves the fusion of dendrites and axon into a single process.
Le développement d'un neurone unipolaire implique la fusion des dendrites et de l'axone en un seul processus.
