the function of neurons is to receive information, process it, and pass it on to other neurons, or muscles or endocrine/exocrine glands. I realize 'receive information, process it, and pass it on' is a giant and amorphous description, but the description of the behavior of organisms with neurons is also giant and amorphous.
