what does a neuron look like?

Answer 1

It is an elongated cell with many hair-like processes arising at one end from cyton called dendrites and a longer thicker process called axon at the other end ending in axon bulb.

Answer 2

it looks like a regular somatic cell with two extra parts
1.dendrites (in which neurons recieve signals)
and 2. axons (in which they transmit them)

dendrites are just longer pathways for the cell to recieve
them and axons are long pathways full of sodium voltage gated channels

Depends on what kind of neuron you're talking about.

Most neurons can be anatomically characterized as:

* Unipolar or pseudounipolar: dendrite and axon emerging from same process.
* Bipolar: single axon and single dendrite on opposite ends of the soma.
* Multipolar: more than two dendrites:
o Golgi I: neurons with long-projecting axonal processes; examples are pyramidal cells, Purkinje cells, and anterior horn cells.
o Golgi II: neurons whose axonal process projects locally; the best example are the granule cells.

A variety of techniques are used. You can use stains that travel along neurons by retrograde transport, and link the data to stains for the various neurotransmitters. You dissect along different planes and tease out nerves and neurons. Ultimately, you put the data together, from large samples, to get the big picture with large scale and microscopic structure and function.

Answer 6

I think what happened was that scientists used rats which are somehow similar to humans and did various tests on assumptions they had about how the brain worked. I believe they then correlated that to humans. In addition I believe diseases that impair the brain have given scientists a lot of insight as to how the brain, and individual neurons work. But mostly, I believe it was a lot of animal testing and correlating that to humans.
