The processes affecting neurons also cause damage to glial cells, leaving nearby neurons with little or no support system.

Parkinson's disease is a disorder that affects nerve cells, or neurons, in a part of the brain that controls muscle movement.

Neuromodulators secreted by a small group of neurons diffuse through large areas of the nervous system, affecting multiple neurons.

Muscarinic receptors are metabotropic, and affect neurons over a longer time frame.

It also can affect neurons outside the brain in the retina.

A neuron affects other neurons by releasing a neurotransmitter that binds to chemical receptors.

In addition, "islands" of neurons that are relatively unaffected can exist between ulegyria affected neurons.

Specifically, nociceptors (neurons responsible for the sensation and conduction of painful stimuli) appear to be the primarily affect neurons in these fibers.

Spirulina intake has also been found to prevent damage caused by toxins affecting the heart, liver, kidneys, neurons, eyes, ovaries, DNA, and testicles.

It does not affect sensory neurons, so sensation remains intact despite loss of movement.
