    Basket cells are cells of the central nervous system, more precisely those cells are interneurons found in the brain. Basket cells are inhibitory and GABAergic (affecting the neurotransmitter GABA) meaning that they make inhibitory synapses.

    Axons of the basket cells are branched, dendrites are with smooth spines. Each axon breaks up into simple or complex arborizations and they form some kind of network (this is why these cells are called basket). Those branched axons' structure surrounds the body of the target cell whose action potential is directly controlled by basket cells.
