| Gene Symbol | ent-gene-8cd44c77 |
| Morphology | superior cervical ganglion NPY neuron (source: Cell Ontology) |
| NPY | The defining neuropeptide, visible via immunohistochemistry |
| Somatostatin (SST) | Co-expressed in approximately 70% of cortical NPY neurons |
| NPY1R | Primary receptor for NPY signaling in cortical circuits |
| NPY2R | Often expressed presynaptically to modulate neurotransmitter release |
| Parvalbumin (PV) | Generally mutually exclusive with NPY expression |
| Reelin | Expressed in a subset of NPY/SST co-expressing neurons |
| Adaptation | Regular-spiking neurons with pronounced spike frequency adaptation |
| Low-threshold spiking | Some subpopulations exhibit low-threshold calcium spikes |
| Haptic responses | Many respond to depolarizing inputs with delayed spiking |
| High input resistance | Contributing to their sensitivity to small synaptic inputs |
| KG Connections | 2 knowledge graph edges |
| Databases | GeneCardsUniProtNCBI GeneHPASTRING |
