Neurons

A neuron is a functional unit of the nervous system. There are roughly 100 billion nerve cells in the human brain that are complexly wired to transmit neural signals. Wolfram|Alpha provides information about structural and electrophysiological characteristics of individual types of neurons. Those characteristics represent the key aspects of the processing ability of biological neuronal networks.
