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).
A neuron is the basic cell of the nervous system in vertebrates and most invertebrates from the level of the cnidarians (such as corals and jellyfish) upward. A typical neuron has a cell body containing a nucleus and two or more long fibers.
Intel has built the world's largest neuromorphic system, a computing system that is modelled after the human brain and nervous system. Code named Hala Point, the 1.15 billion neuron system advances ...

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.
