It has two specializations: (1.) The presence of junctional folds provide a large surface area where acetylcholine from the synaptic end bulb can interact because (2.) the…[Read more]

Basket cells are inhibitory neurons that can be found in the neocortex, cerebellum, and hippocampus. These cells form baskets of axonal arborizations onto and around the somata of target neurons.
