Neurons are specialized cells in the nervous system that transmit information throughout the body. They communicate using electrical signals and chemical messages, allowing us to think, feel, and move. Each neuron has a unique structure, including a cell body, dendrites, and an axon, which help it send and receive signals effectively. These remarkable cells play a crucial role in everything we do, from simple reflexes to complex thoughts. Neurons connect with each other at junctions called synapses, forming intricate networks that enable communication within the brain and between the brain and the rest of the body.
