enteric neuron Dogiel type II neuron 2026-03-10T14:42:58Z AH neuron multiaxonal enteric neuron GitHub Copilot type II enteric neuron A neuron characterised by Dogiel type II morphology: a large, smooth, oval soma bearing multiple long axon-like processes (multiaxonal) that extend without branching until they reach their targets. The soma lacks the short lamellar or spiny dendrites characteristic of Dogiel type I neurons. Dogiel type II neurons were first described by Alexander Dogiel in 1899 based on methylene blue staining in gastrointestinal ganglia. In the enteric nervous system, Dogiel type II neurons correspond to intrinsic primary afferent neurons (IPANs) and exhibit AH-type electrophysiology (prolonged afterhyperpolarization following an action potential).
