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: 1  Neurons are surrounded by a membrane.2  Neurons have a nucleus that contains genes.3  Neurons contain cytoplasm, mitochondria and other organelles.he brain is made up of approximately 100 billion neurons.

What are neurons? What is the brain made of? The bulk of the brain is made up of structural cells termed glial cells and astrocytes. Lying in amongst these cells are neurons, specialized cells that conduct electrical impulses along their processes. 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.
