Neuron
Neuron
The basic cell that makes up the brain and nervous system, transmitting information through electrical signals.
Details
A neuron is the fundamental unit of the nervous system — a cell that transmits information through electrical and chemical signals. It is composed of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon.
The human brain contains approximately 86 billion neurons, and they connect with one another to form complex networks. Every mental activity — sensation, movement, thought, and emotion — is carried out through the activity of neurons.
Healthy lifestyle habits support the health of existing neurons and the formation of new ones. Mindy encourages you to take care of your brain by staying active, sleeping well, and nurturing your mental health.
