[Spiny neuron]
This term is used by neurobiologists and pertains to neurons and ganglion cells and reflects the characteristic morphology of their dendrites, which are covered with spines. The highly ramified dendritic arborizations of these cells radiate in all directions. Spiny neurons have long axons that either leave the striatum or innervate neighboring spiny neurons. Large numbers of these neurons are located in the striatum (See: Medium spiny neurons). The spines receive input from cortex, thalamus, and substantia nigra.
