神经元（英語： neuron ）又名神经细胞（ nerve cell ），是组成神经系统结构和执行神经功能活动的一大类高度分化细胞，由胞体和胞突（树突和轴突）组成，属神经组织的基本结构和功能单位。神经元大致分为：感觉（传入）神经元，运动（传出）神经元、联络 ...

A neuron, neurone, [1] or nerve cell, is an excitable cell that fires electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system. They are located in the brain and spinal cord and help to receive and conduct impulses.

2024年1月16日 · A neuron is a nerve cell that processes and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals in the nervous system. Neurons consist of a cell body, dendrites (which receive signals), and an axon (which sends signals).

2023年7月24日 · Neurons are electrically excitable cells that transmit signals throughout the body. Neurons employ both electrical and chemical components in the transmission of information. Neurons are connected to other neurons at synapses and connected to effector organs or cells at neuroeffector junctions.

We review the progress of classifying cell types in the retina and cerebral cortex and propose a staged approach for moving forward with a systematic cell-type classification in the nervous system. Neurons have diverse molecular, morphological, connectional and functional properties.

Nerve cells, or neurons, are among the most ancient of all specialized animal cell types. Their structure is like that of no other class of cells, and the development of the nervous system poses problems that have no real parallel in other tissues.

2004年7月13日 · Identifying the functionally distinct types of neuron is central to any bottom-up understanding of how the brain works. The different cell types are the brain's elementary computational elements – the components from which the larger machine is made.

2024年1月1日 · Neuron – a late nineteenth century Greek term, refers to highly specialized “nerve cells” that conduct electrical impulses (Action potential). This innate propensity to generate and conduct electrical potentials is a unique hallmark of all “excitable cells” of which the neurons are the most specialized.

Neuroscientists study the evolutionary, cellular, functional, molecular, and medical issues of the nervous system. They are at the forefront of research into the mechanisms that cause brain disease, cancer, and loss of function of neural cells and pathways, and are developing and testing new therapies to treat or cure these debilitating disorders.
