Neurons with dual axons in the substantia gelatinosa (SG) of the adult cat lumbosacral spinal cord

Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

A small percentage of SG neurons possessing two separate and complete axons were observed in the lumbosacral spinal cord of the adult cat. Since they are found in small numbers and are structurally similar to single axon SG cells, dual axon cells may represent a developmental aberrancy rather than a functionally distinct cell type.
