Also known as nerve cell, nerve cells, neurons, neuronal cell, individual neuron
A neuron (American English), neurone (British English), or nerve cell, is a cell that is excitable, firing electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system, mainly in the central nervous system, and helps to receive and conduct impulses. Neurons communicate with other cells via synapses, which are specialized connections that commonly use minute amounts of chemical neurotransmitters to pass the electric signal from the presynaptic neuron to the target cell through the synaptic gap.
AI overview
A neuron is a specialized cell in your nervous system that fires electrical signals to communicate with other cells and process information throughout your body. Neurons pass these signals to each other through connections called synapses, using tiny amounts of chemicals called neurotransmitters to bridge the gaps between them.
