Neuron100 billion neurons in the brain share a number of common features:Cell bodymetabolic center of the neuronDendritesreceives connections from other neurons.Axon transmits information to other neuronsPresynaptic terminals

Synapse terminal region of the axon where one neuron forms a connection with another and conveys information through the process of synaptic transmission.

To communicate with the postsynaptic cell, the presynaptic neuron needs to release a chemical messenger.

interoceptors in visceral organs convey stretch as well as pressure, chemoreception, and pain.

Motor homunculusSensory homunculus

Important station that receives the main sensory tracts (except the olfactory pathway).

A station where much of the information is integrated and relayed to the cerebral cortex and many other subcortical regions.

A key role in the integration of visceral and somatic functions.
