How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T18701793 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Golgi cells
Golgi cells are inhibitory interneurons located in the cerebellar cortex that modulate the activity of granule cells and help regulate cerebellar processing of motor coordination.

C.
Golgi type I neurons
Golgi type I neurons are a class of nerve cells characterized by long axons that project to distant regions, as first distinguished in Camillo Golgi’s pioneering neuroanatomical work.
-
D.
Golgi type II neurons
Golgi type II neurons are small, inhibitory interneurons in the central nervous system characterized by short, extensively branching axons that remain near their cell bodies.
