Acleus nucleus and myteptosis
Just as with many other cells in the body, the nucleus is a central part of the main cell body. It contains genetic material (DNA), which is transcribed and controlled by enzyme systems and other regulatory chemicals, along for genes to be expressed for the creation of proteins (neurotransmitters, enzymes, other regulatory chemicals) for the main functions of the cell.

A neuron is what your nervous tissue is made of. It transmits information in the form of electro-chemical changes, which are called nerve impulses. === All neurons have three main parts: 1. a cell body which contains a nucleus. 2. dendrites, which are extensions off of the cell body that receive the signals. They are hair-like structures. and 3. An axon, which is what sends out the neuron's signals. It is also an extension from the cell body, but a larger one than the dendrites. It is encased in a faty sheath and there is only one of these per neuron.
The nucleus contains the DNA, which has the instructions for the production of functional products (i.e. proteins). Therefore the main role of the nucleus is to control the functions of the cell.

A (proto)typical neuron contains three parts: a cell body, an axon, and a tree of dendrites. The cell body is also called the soma, which comes from the Latin for "body". Among many important tasks, the cell body houses the nucleus and most of the other cytoplasmic organelles. For this reason, yet another name for the cell body is the perikaryon, which comes from the Greek for "around the nut", where "nut" refers to the nucleus; thus the cell body is the thing that surrounds the nucleus.The nucleus is present in the cyton, or main body of the neuron.Soma or the cell body
dendrites -Apex
The three main parts of a neuron are the axon, the dendrites, and the soma (cell body). The axon carries information away from the soma and transmits it to other neurons. The dendrites receive information from other neurons. The soma contains the nucleus of the cell and protein synthesis occurs here.

The term nucleus has two main meanings in science. The center of a cell contains a cell nucleus, which can be defined as an organelle which contains the genetic material of the organism. And the center of an atom contains the atomic nucleus, which can be defined as the part of the atom which contains protons and/or neutrons (all atoms except for the lightest hydrogen isotope contain both protons and neutrons).
