Yes. Neurons need to contain mitochondria in order to produce enough ATP molecules to open and close the sodium/potassium channels at the axon. It also needs ATP to undergo exocytosis and endocytosis which forms vesicles containing neurotransmitters.

What cells have mitochondria that helps?

Mitochondria are found in nearly all eukaryotic cells, including animal, plant, and fungal cells. They are essential for energy production, as they generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration. Muscle cells, neurons, and liver cells, which have high energy demands, contain a particularly large number of mitochondria to support their functions.
