All neurons are electrically excitable, and can generate a «spike» when the neuron's voltage changes by large enough amounts.

For the first time, scientists found that in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the affected nerve cells that control muscle movement, or motor neurons, have defects in their mitochondria, which generate energy used by the cell.
