Motor Neurons Differentiation

MNs are neuronal cells located in the central nervous system (CNS) for controlling various downstream targets. MNs have the most common type of body plan for a nerve cell-they are multipolar, each with one axon and several dendrites. Spinal MNs located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord are responsible for controlling effector muscles in the periphery and control effector muscles in the periphery. Spinal MNs connect to muscles, glands, and organs throughout the body and form neuronal circuitry. These neurons transmit impulses and control all of our muscle movements.
