Abstract
The concept of paraneurons includes the idea that neurons are not as specialized a cell type as formerly believed. There are transitional forms between neurons and endocrine/sensory cells with regard to all their cell biological features. Some of them are differentiated more toward the nervous side, whereas others are differentiated more toward the endocrine/sensory side.
