neurons develop and how genetic changes affect biological functions. The morphology, molecular identity, and physiological characteristics of neurons

the synapse between two neurons known as the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons; if the signal from the presynaptic neuron is excitatory, it will cause

evolution of the nervous system. Neurons are typically classified into three types based on their function. Sensory neurons respond to stimuli such as touch

rate of respiration. Most of the neurons are located in the nucleus of the solitary tract. Other important neurons are found in the adjacent areas including

intelligence. The human brain contains 86 billion neurons, with 16 billion neurons in the cerebral cortex. Neuron counts constitute an important source of insight

neurons and are the preganglionic neurons. There are several locations upon which preganglionic neurons can synapse for their postganglionic neurons:

humans consists of some 500 million neurons (including the various types of Dogiel cells), 0.5% of the number of neurons in the brain, five times as many

Motor neuron diseases or motor neurone diseases (MNDs) are a group of rare neurodegenerative disorders that selectively affect motor neurons, the cells

excitation. It most commonly refers to electrically excitable muscle cells or neurons. Absolute refractory period corresponds to depolarization and repolarization
