Neurons are the fundamental building blocks of the nervous system, specialized cells responsible for transmitting information. While all neurons share basic structural and functional characteristics, many are highly specialized to perform specific roles within the brain and body. These specializations can involve their morphology, the types of neurotransmitters they release, their connections to other cells, and their sensitivity to particular stimuli.
Sensory neurons, for example, are a class of specialized neurons that detect external and internal stimuli.
Motor neurons are another major category, responsible for carrying signals from the central nervous system to
The neurotransmitter a neuron uses is a key aspect of its specialization. Some neurons release excitatory neurotransmitters
