Any process that modulates the occurrence or rate of cell death by apoptosis in neurons. A biological process that results in permanent cessation of all vital functions of a cell. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptosis in neurons. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell death of neurons by apoptosis. The process of cell death in a neuron. A form of programmed cell death that begins when a cell receives internal or external signals that trigger the activity of proteolytic caspases, proceeds through a series of characteristic stages typically including rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), and plasma membrane blebbing (but maintenance of its integrity until the final stages of the process), and ends with the death of the cell. Cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes. The process of apoptosis in neurons, the basic cellular unit of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the nervous system.
