De cellen in het zenuwstelsel, ook wel bekend als zenuwcellen of neuronen, vormen de bouwstenen van de hersenen. Het zijn celtypes die gespecialiseerd zijn in het overbrengen van informatie naar andere zenuwcellen, maar ook naar spiercellen en kliercellen.
The cells in the nervous system, also known as nerve cells or neurons, are the building blocks of the brain. They are cell types that are specialized in transmitting information to other nerve cells, but also to muscle cells and gland cells.
Humans are estimated to have between 80 and 100 billion nerve cells. Nerve cells can receive and transmit information. Most nerve cells have one axon and several dendritic branches.
