Overview

Neurons, also known as nerve cells, are the primary components of the nervous system, responsible for transmitting and processing information through electrical and chemical signals. They are found in all animals except sponges and placozoans, and have evolved over 700 million years to become the complex cells we know today. Research by [[eric-kandel|Eric Kandel]] and [[roger-sperry|Roger Sperry]] has greatly advanced our understanding of neuronal function and its role in the nervous system.
