100 billion neurons
"100 billion", that's how many neurons there are totally in the human brain, I am interested if I "cut" a part of the human brain that was a cubic inch how many neurons would be in there?
Scientists have organized the cells that make up the nervous system into two broad groups: neurons, which are the primary signaling cells, and glia, which support neurons in various ways. The human brain contains around 100 billion neurons and, by most estimates, somewhere between 10 to 50 times as many glial cells. Bipolar ones are usually found outside the brain and interneurons are found within the brain.
The adult human brain typically contains around 86 billion nerve cells, or neurons. Additionally, the brain contains other types of cells called glial cells, which may outnumber neurons by up to 10 to 1. Overall, the brain is composed of a vast network of cells that work together to control bodily functions and processes.
its over 9000!

160 million. And even though a dog's brain is usually larger than a cat's brain, cats have almost twice as many neurons as dogs with 300 million of them.
Brain cells are called neurons. There are many different classifications of neurons - by size, shape, location, function, and so forth.
There are approximately 100 billion neurons inside a human brain.
There are around 10 billion neurons in the brain.
Brain cells are classified as neurons or glial cells. There are 86 billion neurons and 10 to 50 times as many glial cells.
How many neurons does the cerebellum have? This is an interesting question. Of the sources I have reviewed thus far, I have not found a consistent approximation of neurons in the cerebellum. The human brain has (estimate) 100 billion neurons. Some sources say 10-100 billion. According to Wikipedia, the cerebellum takes up 10% of the brain's total volume and contains roughly 50% of all the neurons in the brain. In that case, 50 billion neurons in the cerebellum. However, in the book I'm currently reading, it has suggested that the cerebellum neuron count is more like 70 billion. Therefore, the cerebrum (rest of the brain) has the remaining 30%. Interesting isn't it? Such a small structure contains majority of the brain's neurons. Additionally, the cerebellum has Purkinje cells, which are among the largest neurons in the brain. According to Wikipedia, Granule cells (very tiny neurons) are very numerous in the cerebellum which are accountable for the mass % of neurons in this particular cortex. Hope I have helped you! However, take note that to some people Wikipedia is not a valid source. To me it's reliable in some circumstances. The book I'm reading now was written by an M.D so I feel that is more reliable, so I'll go ahead and say that the cerebellum has (estimate) 60-70 billion neurons.
