Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Neurons are nerve cells that form the nervous system of an organism. These cells transmit stimulus via electrical or chemical signals. Neurons work in a coordinated manner and the group of neurons is known as neural pools. Neurons connected at neural pools control a body function and the connection between the two adjacent neurons is known as neural circuits.
