Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pyramidal cells in the cerebral cortex are multipolar neurons, meaning they have several dendrites and a single axon, often found in the central nervous system. Unipolar neurons have a single process extending from the cell body, and bipolar neurons have two processes extending from the cell body (one dendrite and one axon). Purkinje cells are a type of neuron found in the cerebellar cortex, but they are not found in the cerebral cortex.
