WHAT NEUROSCIENCE CAN TELL By definition,"Neurons are basic signaling units of the nervous system of a living being in which each neuron is a discrete cell whose several processes are from its cell bod The biological neuron has four main regions to its structure. The cell body, or soma. has two offshoots from it. The dendrites(树突 and the axon(轴突 end in pre-synaptic terminals(突触前末 is). The cell body is the heart of the cell It contains the nucleolus(细胞核)and maintains protein synthesis(蛋台质合 Ai). A neuron has many dendrites which look like a tree structure, receives signals from other neurons By definition, “Neurons are basic signaling units of the nervous system of a living being in which each neuron is a discrete cell whose several processes are from its cell body” .  The biological neuron has four main regions to its structure.
