Brain cell is a generic term for the neurons and glial cells. Neurons are nerve cells that process and transmit information through the nervous system. Glial cells provide support, protection, and nutrition to the neurons. Other cells in the brain include epithelial cells that make up the lining of the blood vessels.

contribute significantly to neuronal tissue structure and function.

- Interneurons/Pseudopolare cells form all the neural wiring within the Central Nervous System. These have two axons. One axon communicates with the spinal cord; one with either the skin or muscle.
- Motoneurons/Multipolar neurons carry signals from the Central Nervous System to the muscles and glands.
