Biopolar
multipolar
unipolar
The structural classification of a neuron that has one axon and one dendrite is known as a bipolar neuron. These neurons are primarily found in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and are commonly associated with sensory functions, such as in the retina of the eye and the olfactory system. Bipolar neurons play a crucial role in transmitting sensory information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
Extraneurons
Diarthroses
Neurons are supported by various types of glial cells, which provide structural support, insulation, and nourishment. Glial cells also help regulate the chemical environment surrounding neurons and play a crucial role in the repair and maintenance of the nervous system.
Neurons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) ganglia are supported by satellite cells. Satellite cells surround neuron cell bodies, providing structural support, regulating nutrient exchange, and contributing to the health and function of the neurons.

Astrocytes are glial cells that provide structural and metabolic support for neurons. They help regulate the extracellular environment, provide nutrients to neurons, and maintain the blood-brain barrier. Astrocytes also play a role in synaptic transmission and neuronal signaling.
Usually by size and the type of neurotransmistter it produces. Electrophysiologists also classify neurons by their firing ratesThis is an addition to the above-mentioned answer. To be more specific, we can classify neurons based on their structural or functional properties.1) Structural classification :based on polarity = unipolar + pseudounipolar + bipolar, + multipolar (Golgi 1, Golgi 2)based on their unique features (distinct shapes and locations) = basket cells + betz cells + medium spiny neurons + purkinje cells + pyramidal cells + Renshaw cells + granule cells + anterior horn cells2) Functional classification :based on directions = afferent + efferent + interneuronsbased on their actions on other neurons = excitatory (they increase firing rate) + inhibitory(they decrease firing rate) + modulatory (doesn't really related to firing rate, but they cause long-lasting effects)based on their discharging patterns = tonic or regular spiking + phasic or bursting + fast spikingbased on neurotransmitters they produced = cholinergic + GABAergic + glutamatergic + dopaminergic + serotonergic
A neural structural category refers to a classification of neural structures based on their anatomical and functional characteristics within the brain. These categories help in understanding how different neural circuits and regions contribute to various cognitive and sensory processes. By organizing neurons and brain regions into distinct categories, researchers can better study their roles in behavior, learning, and neurological disorders.
