The substance that is produced and released by neurons in the brain is a hormone called dopamine. It acts as a neurotransmitter that sends signals between nerve cells.
Neurons in the brain produce and release several hormones, primarily neuropeptides, such as oxytocin and vasopressin (also known as antidiuretic hormone). Unlike traditional hormones released by endocrine glands, these neuropeptides are released directly into the bloodstream or act locally at synapses to influence various physiological processes, including social bonding and water regulation. Other examples include substance P and endorphins, which are involved in pain modulation and stress responses.
Yes, neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that are produced by neurons in the brain. They play a crucial role in communication between nerve cells and are involved in various physiological functions such as mood regulation, memory, and movement.
The neurons that carry messages to the brain are called sensory neurons. They transmit information from sensory receptors in the body to the brain for processing and interpretation.
Afferent neurons (also called sensory neurons) carry signals to the central nervous system and the brain. Efferent neurons (also called motor neurons) carry signals from the brain.
Yes, there are over 100 billion neurons in the human brain, not just 100 million. Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information throughout the brain and body, playing a crucial role in processes such as thinking, memory, and movement.

Neurons are nerve cells. Neurons in the brain are involved in thinking and perceiving and consciousness and control of the body, and neurons elsewhere in the body communicate with the brain.
Motor neurons carry impulses from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, resulting in a response such as muscle contraction or secretion of a substance. The direction of impulse for motor neurons is typically from the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord) to the target muscle or gland.

No, neurons in the human brain do not typically get replaced. Once neurons are damaged or lost, they are not usually regenerated or replaced by new neurons.
Glucose is the main source of energy of the brain. It is converted to ATP inside the brain. However, the brain cells (neurons) themselves use some glucose. The other glucose is first metabolized and converted to "Lactate" by cells inside the brain called "Astrocytes". The lactate produced will then enter the neurons and then is converted to ATP.
No, neurons in the brain include interneurons as well as sensory neurons and motor neurons. Interneurons primarily communicate with other neurons in the central nervous system, while sensory neurons carry information from sensory organs to the brain and spinal cord, and motor neurons transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands.
