Abstract
The nervous system is structurally and functionally the most complicated organ of the human body. Normal brain function depends on the anatomic, biochemical, and physiologic integration of multiple cell types. The neuron is the communicating cell of the nervous system. All sensory, motor, and cognitive activities use circuitries consisting of multiple neurons with complex connections. We consider each of these cell types separately but stress their interactions throughout
