In this Episode, I give an Introduction to neurons. Since Neurons form the basis for the entire Nervous System, understanding what they are and what they do is essential.
First I answer the question “What is a neuron?”. Then I go into the parts of a neuron:
- Dendrites
- Soma
- Axon
- Axon Terminals
Lastly, I talk about the three types of neurons:
- Sensory Neurons
- Motor Neurons
- Interneurons
Watch, Enjoy, and then leave your comments. There are many more videos to come. My goal is to provide at least 1 new Video on a weekly basis, so keep checking back.

Good video. And I like the music!

great video! But im a bit confused as to the varieties of neurons. To my understanding so far, a certain type of neuron (a dopamine neuron for example) will only produce its specific neurotransmitter and no others. So what i

Great video! Can one particular neuron recieve signals from different neurotransmitters? So far to my understanding, a particular neuron (a dopamine neuron for example) only produces its specific neurotransmitter, dopamine. So my question is, can one neuron recieve messages from different neurotransmitters? Could a dopamine neuron receive a signal from GABA to inhibit its function, or maybe recieve a signal from ACH? And do specific neurons produce GABA for this function?

thanks
this gave a good headstart on the nervous system and neurons and all that for me 
im having a bio olympiad next year and starting to prepare already 
thanks alot!!
