Ultrapolar Neuron is the name given to a type of multipolar neuron possessing highly developed multipolar neurons, whereby the dendrites as well as axon may extend significant distances as demonstrated by pyramidal neurons.

The dendrites and axons of Ultrapolar neurons within mammals extend in many cases several centimetres in length, especially within the Central Nervous System and spinal column.

The largest concentrations of Ultrapolar Neurons within the Homo Sapien body are found mainly around the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, amygdale and hippocampus with axons extending down the spinal column.

Ultrapolar Neurons are the ambassador neurons between neural colonies possessing extraordinarily long dendrites and axons enabling direct communication from one (1) neural colony to another, over a long distance.

Ultrapolar Neurons as multipolar neurons are borne from the mitosis of neuroglia at the development stage of birth. New Ultrapolar Neurons will not normally be grown unless the cellular body of the neuron dies. Therefore, a complete break in the axon will not normally cause a new Ultrapolar Neuron to be created.

Ultrapolar Neurons are fundamental to the coordination of voluntary movement of the body of complex species. If the axons of only a few Ultrapolar neurons are severely damaged, cut or destroyed, then the ability to control voluntary movement of a particular body part may cease.

Permanent paralysis is normally caused by the severing of the axons of a few Ultrapolar Neurons.
