Golgi’s cells [Camillo Golgi; L, cella, storeroom] , either of two types of cells. Golgi type I neurons are nerve cells that have long axons that leave the local neurophil area of the parent cell body, traverse the white matter, and project to the rest of the nervous system. Golgi type II neurons are nerve cells with short trajectory axons, like stellate cells of the cerebral and cerebellar cortex. They generally do not enter white matter but remain within the local neurophil in the cerebral and cerebellar cortices and the retina.
