5 maj 2022 · Yes and no. There are two major types of brain cells: neurons and glial cells. Neurons are the most common type of brain cells. Neuroscientists estimate that brains contain 100 billion neurons! When we study anatomy and functions of the brain, we’re likely talking about the work of the neurons.
The cells of the brain include neurons and supportive glial cells. There are more than 86 billion neurons in the brain, and a more or less equal number of other cells. Brain activity is made possible by the interconnections of neurons and their release of neurotransmitters in response to nerve impulses.
