Anaxonic, unipolar, bipolar or multipolar
Neurons are classified by their structure and function. Structurally, neurons can be categorized as sensory neurons, motor neurons, or interneurons. Functionally, neurons can be classified as excitatory or inhibitory based on the type of signals they transmit.
Neurons with two processes are classified as bipolar neurons. These neurons have one dendrite and one axon extending from their cell body. Bipolar neurons are commonly found in specialized sensory pathways like the visual and olfactory systems.
Neurons can be classified structurally as either multipolar, bipolar, or unipolar. Functionally, neurons can be classified as either sensory, motor, or interneurons based on their role in transmitting and processing sensory information, controlling motor movements, or connecting neurons within the central nervous system, respectively.
Carolus Linnaeus
Neurons or the nerve cells are the basic unit of nervous system. Based on their function (as in whether they transmit impulse from the CNS or to the CNS) neurons are classified as sensory neurons (carry impulses to the CNS), motor neurons (carry impulses from the CNS to the target organ) and mixed neurons which perform both the functions. The neurons can also be classified based on the number of associated axons or even presence or absences of axons.
Afferent neurons
Neurons are classified by their structure and function. Structurally, neurons can be categorized as sensory neurons, motor neurons, or interneurons. Functionally, neurons can be classified as excitatory or inhibitory based on the type of signals they transmit.

The main types of cells in the brain are neurons, which transmit information, and glial cells, which support and protect neurons. Neurons are further classified into various types based on their structure and function, such as sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons.
Aristotle classified plants based on the presence or absence of woody tissue. He categorized plants into trees, shrubs, and herbs based on their growth form. Additionally, he classified plants based on their reproductive structures and life cycle.
The neuron classified as an adrenergic fiber is the sympathetic postganglionic neuron.

Neurons are classified by the direction they move.
