Unipolar Neuron Formally Called Pseudounipolar Neurons

Unipolar Neuron (Formally Called Pseudounipolar Neurons) 

Some shapes are so characteristic that those cells are specially named. Examples are  

Purkinje cell—A single layer of large cell bodies in the cerebellar cortex, between the molecular (left) and granular (right) layers. 

Pyramidal cell—named on the basis of the cell body s shape. It is one of the two major neuronal types found in the cerebral cortex. It has a large apical dendrite, which extends vertically from the top of the pyramid, and basal dendrites, which come off horizontally at the base of the pyramid. The axon also typically extends from the base. 

Granule cell of dentate gyrus in the hippocampus (a particular region of the cerebral cortex)—dendrites extend from one end of the cell while the axon comes off from the other.
