  • Structural Diversity of Neurons

    • Three major neuron groups make up this classification: multipolar, bipolar, and unipolar.
    • Unipolar neurons have a single short process that emerges from the cell body and divides T-like into proximal and distal branches.
    • 1: Unipolar neuron, 2: Bipolar neuron, 3: Multipolar neuron, 4: Pseudounipolar neuron

  • Neurons

    • While there are many defined neuron cell subtypes, neurons are broadly divided into four basic types: unipolar, bipolar, multipolar, and pseudounipolar .
    • Unipolar neurons have only one structure that extends away from the soma.
    • Pseudounipolar cells share characteristics with both unipolar and bipolar cells.
    • A pseudounipolar cell has a single structure that extends from the soma (like a unipolar cell), which later branches into two distinct structures (like a bipolar cell).
    • Neurons are broadly divided into four main types based on the number and placement of axons: (1) unipolar, (2) bipolar, (3) multipolar, and (4) pseudounipolar.

  • The Cold War's Costs and Consequences

    • After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the post-Cold War world became widely considered unipolar instead of bipolar, with the United States the sole remaining superpower.
    • After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the post-Cold War world is widely considered unipolar, with the United States the sole remaining superpower.

  • Electroconvulsive Therapy

    • A meta-analysis done on the effectiveness of ECT in unipolar and bipolar depression was conducted in 2012.
    • Findings showed that, although patients with unipolar depression and bipolar depression responded to other medical treatments very differently, both groups responded equally well to ECT.
    • Overall remission rate for patients with unipolar depression after a round of ECT treatment was 51.5%, and 50.9% in those with bipolar depression.

  • The Effects of the Cold War

    • After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the post-Cold War world is widely considered unipolar, with the United States as the sole remaining superpower.

  • Campylobacter

    • The name means "twisted bacteria" because of the spiral formation; motile, with either unipolar or bipolar flagella, the organisms have a characteristic spiral/corkscrew appearance and are oxidase-positive.

  • Premenstrual Syndrome and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder

    • PMDD is classified as a repeating transitory cyclic disorder with similarities to unipolar depression, and several antidepressants are approved as therapy.

    • After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the post–Cold War world was widely considered as unipolar, with the United States the sole remaining superpower.

  • Spinal Cord Grey Matter and Spinal Roots

    • These neurons are of the pseudo-unipolar type, meaning that they have an axon with two branches that act as a single axon, often referred to as a distal and proximal processes.

  • Autonomic Ganglia

    • These neurons are of the pseudo-unipolar type, meaning they have an axon with two branches that act as a single axon, often referred to as a distal process and a proximal process.
