    Glossary Neurons

    specialized cells transmitting information via electrical and chemical signals

    Neurons, also known as nerve cells, are specialized cells in the nervous system that transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. They consist of a cell body, dendrites that receive signals, and an axon that sends signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Neurons are fundamental to brain function, enabling everything from basic reflexes to complex thoughts and emotions.
