Term Name: spinal cord association neuron differentiation
Synonyms: spinal cord dorsal interneuron differentiation
Definition: The process in which neuroepithelial cells in the neural tube acquire specialized structural and/or functional features of association neurons. Association neurons are cells located in the dorsal portion of the spinal cord that integrate sensory input. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate.
