The soma is the cell body of the neuron that contains the nucleus and much of the other 'life' of the neuron. Dendrites and axons reach out from the soma to connect with other neurons.
Nerve cells in the nervous system send signals called action potentials, during which the soma, or cell body of the neuron, sends an electrical signal down the axon. When not signaling, a neuron is hyperpolarized, meaning it has a negative charge when compared to the outside.
