This is because they fly all over the body. They have to flit across in order to get information to the right place.
The neuron hypothesis was proposed by Santiago Ramón y Cajal and Camillo Golgi in the late 19th century. Cajal's work emphasized the idea that the nervous system is composed of individual nerve cells (neurons) that communicate through synapses, while Golgi believed in a network-like structure called the reticular theory. Cajal's observations and arguments ultimately supported the neuron doctrine, which states that neurons are the fundamental units of the nervous system.
Neuroscience as a field has developed over time through the work of many scientists. However, Santiago Ramón y Cajal is often considered one of the founding figures of modern neuroscience for his pioneering work on the structure of the nervous system.
Spanish doctor Santiago Ramon y Cajal. He realized the nervous system was composed of individual cells, neurons. Scientists believed at the time the nervous system was a system of continuous cables.
Fun question. The soma is the main body of the neuron and contains the bulk of the key organelles (nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum... the fun stuff). The axon is the extension of the neuron which carries the action potential. This is often depicted as very long in comparison to the soma, but in reality, the length of the axon varies a lot. Granule cells are pretty miniscule and have relatively tiny axons, whereas the giant pyramidal cells will have much longer axons. Much longer. Dendrites have the role opposite to the axons and receive electrochemical signals from axons. There are PLENTY of these extending from the soma, and plenty of what are called dendritic spines extending off of the dendrites. This is one of the reasons why our brains are so incredibly complex. If you want to see a truly marvelous depiction of dendrites, look of Santiago Ramon y Cajal's early sketches of pyramidal cells. It's awesome to look at. That's the general structure; I don't think it would be necessary to go into the various receptors and proteins. That would take FOREVER.

The discovery of the nervous system cannot be attributed to a single individual. It has been studied and documented over centuries by various scientists and researchers. Some key figures in the history of neuroscience include Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Camillo Golgi, and Leonardo da Vinci.
