There are many more glial cells; they provide support functions for the neurons, ... Neurons are nerve cells that transmit nerve signals to and from the brain at up to 200 mph. The neuron consists of a cell body (or soma) with branching dendrites (signal receivers) and a projection called an axon, which conduct the nerve signal.

Our results demonstrate that C. elegans ahr-1 functions as a cell-type specific determinant. This study further supports the notion that the ancestral role of the AHR proteins is in regulating cellular differentiation ... Key words: Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR-1), ARNT (AHA-1), HSP90, Neuron, GABA, Cell fate, C. elegans...

Parts of the Nerve Cell and Their Functions ... The cell body (soma) is the factory of the neuron. ... Mitochondria use oxygen and glucose to produce most of the cell's energy. The brain consumes large amounts of ATP. The chemical energy stored in ATP is used to fuel most of the biochemical reactions of the neuron.
