Neurons are categorized into different types based on their unique morphologies and functions. This article will focus on the structure and physiology of a typical multipolar neuron, the primary neuronal type found in the CNS, and explore its parts and functions in greater detail.

Neuron is one of the most influential and relied upon journals in the field of neuroscience and serves as a premier intellectual forum for the entire neuroscience community.
Neurons are the main components of nervous tissue in all animals except sponges and placozoans. Plants and fungi do not have nerve cells. Molecular evidence suggests that the ability to generate electric signals first appeared in evolution some 700 to 800 million years ago, during the Tonian period.
Neurons vary in size, shape, and structure depending on their role and location. However, nearly all neurons have three essential parts: a cell body, an axon, and dendrites. Also known as a soma,...
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).
