| Definition: | A cerebrospinal fluid contacting neuron that originates form p3 progenitor domain. The apical extension of ventral CSF-cNs are more compact than that of dorsal CSF-cNs. Ventral CSF-cNs synapse with CaP motor neurons and project onto CoPA sensory interneurons. Ventral CSF-cNs respond to longitudinal contractions of the spinal cord. Frequently called "KA neurons". |
