The process whereby differentiating motor neurons in the neural tube acquire the specialized structural and/or functional features of lateral motor column neurons. Lateral motor column neurons are generated only on limb levels and send axons into the limb mesenchyme. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate. The process whereby a neuroblast acquires the specialized structural and functional features of a GABAergic inhibitory neuron in the basal ganglia. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a neuroblast to a GABAergic neuron. The process whereby a neuroblast or one of its progeny commits to a pyramidal neuron fate, migrates from the ventricular zone to the appropriate layer in the cortex and develops into a mature neuron. The specialization of organization of a photoreceptor, a cell that responds to incident electromagnetic radiation, particularly visible light. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a mechanoreceptor, a cell specialized to transduce mechanical stimuli and relay that information centrally in the nervous system. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the neurons of the salivary gland. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a bipolar cell, the last neuron to be generated in the retina. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron that contributes to the progression of the amphid sensory gland. The process by which nerve cells are generated. This includes the production of neuroblasts and their differentiation into neurons. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron whose cell body resides in the central nervous system. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron of the heart. The process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a neuron. The process whereby relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state. The process whereby differentiating motor neurons in the neural tube acquire the specialized structural and/or functional features of medial motor column neurons. Medial motor column neurons are generated at all rostrocaudal levels and send axons to the axial muscles (medial group) and to the body wall muscles (lateral group). Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of neuron differentiation. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a neuron over time, from initial commitment of the cell to a specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of neuron differentiation. The process whereby a neuroblast acquires the specialized structural and functional features of a dopaminergic neuron, a neuron that secretes dopamine. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of neuron differentiation. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron whose cell body resides in the peripheral nervous system. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of an noradrenergic neuron, a neuron that secretes noradrenaline. Generation of cells within the nervous system.
