A neuron is a nerve cell. The brain is made up of approximately 100 billion neurons. Neurons are similar to other cells in the body in some ways such as: Neurons are surrounded by a membrane. Neurons have a nucleus that contains genes. Neurons contain cytoplasm, mitochondria and other organelles.
It has been estimated that the average human brain contains about 100 billion neurons and, on average, each neuron is connected to 1000 other neurons. This results in the generation of vast and complex neural networks that are the mainstay of the brain's processing capabilities. Neurons are the basic data processing units, the 'chips', of the brain. Each neuron receives electrical inputs from about 1000 other neurons.
