Meanings

nounrosehip neuron (plural rosehip neurons)

plural rosehip neurons

  1. biologyA type of information-controlling brain cell, which is found in humans.

    We demonstrate its presence in single nucleus RNA-seq of ∼16000 human cortical neurons (including rosehip neurons).

    Finally, to more concretely link morphologically and transcriptionally defined RCs, we performed digital PCR for additional marker genes on cellular content extracted from individual rosehip neurons.

    For instance, Boldog et al. identified a new specialized human cortical GABAergic cell type called a rosehip neuron. These rosehip neurons seem to be functionally related to regulation of distal dendritic computation in pyramidal neurons
