cortical ______ cell: a kind of interneuron; send axons over a much shorter distance. So the cell has a cell body, it's typically multi_______, meaning that there are dendrites that go off in different directions, and then there is an axon. And that axon may branch over the nearby territory within the dendritic tree of that cell or just beyond it. So this is called an interneuron, because it doesn't project very far at all.
