Medium spiny neurons have two primary phenotypes (characteristic types): D1-type MSNs of the direct pathway and D2-type MSNs of the indirect pathway. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Most striatal MSNs contain only D1-type or D2-type dopamine receptors , but a subpopulation of MSNs exhibit both phenotypes.
English: Complete neuron cell diagram. Neurons (also known as neurones and nerve cells) are electrically excitable cells in the nervous system that process and transmit information. In vertebrate animals, neurons are the core components of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
Spinal neurons are specialized nerve cells located within the spinal cord. [1] They are a crucial component of the central nervous system.These neurons play vital roles in transmitting and processing information between the brain and the rest of the body.

The D1-type medium spiny neurons mediate reward-related cognitive processes, [5] [35] [36] whereas the D2-type medium spiny neurons mediate aversion-related cognition. [6] The neurons in the core, as compared to the neurons in the shell, have an increased density of dendritic spines, branch segments, and terminal segments.
