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 neuron. The process by which nerve cells are generated. This includes the production of neuroblasts and their differentiation into neurons. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the salivary gland over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Salivary glands include any of the saliva-secreting exocrine glands of the oral cavity. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells of the salivary gland. 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.
