The findings are that long tract neurons make up approximately 1% of the total neurons of the spinal cord.

Axonal shapes revealed previously unknown subtypes of projection neurons and suggest organizational principles of long-range connectivity.

The difference in the total dendritic length observed between long- and short-shaft pyramidal neurons could be an indication that each type receives a different number of synapses per neuron.

In this chapter, we provide evidence that these neurons can be widely detected in the chick nervous system.

Thus the behavior possible in isopotential regions of neurons is more complex than that behavior which can be transmitted by propagating action potentials along long axons.
