1. Neuron: A nerve cell that is the basic building block of the nervous system.
2. Synapse: The junction between two neurons where electrical or chemical signals are transmitted.
3. Neurotransmitter: Chemical messengers that transmit signals across synapses between neurons.
4. Central Nervous System (CNS): The part of the nervous system that includes the brain and spinal cord.
5. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): The part of the nervous system that includes all the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord.
6. Axon: The long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body.
7. Dendrite: The branching extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons.
8. Myelin: A fatty substance that surrounds and insulates axons, speeding up the transmission of electrical signals.
9. Action potential: The brief electrical impulse that travels down the axon of a neuron.
10. Neuroplasticity: The ability of the brain to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections in response to learning or experience.

Neurons: The basic building blocks of the nervous system. They receive, process, and transmit information.
Dendrites: Short, branching extensions of neurons that receive information from other neurons.
Axon: A long, thin fiber that transmits information away from the neuron.
Myelin sheath: A fatty layer that insulates axons and speeds up the transmission of information.
Synapse: The connection point between two neurons, where electrical signals are transmitted chemically.
Neurotransmitters: Chemicals that are released by neurons into synapses to transmit information.
Central nervous system (CNS): Includes the brain and spinal cord.
Peripheral nervous system (PNS): Includes all the nerves that extend from the CNS to the rest of the body.
Somatic nervous system: Controls voluntary movements.
Autonomic nervous system: Controls involuntary functions, such as heart rate and digestion.
Sympathetic nervous system: Activates the body's "fight or flight" response.
Parasympathetic nervous system: Calms the body and promotes relaxation.
Efferent nerves: Carry signals from the CNS to muscles and glands.
Afferent nerves: Carry signals from the body's sensory receptors to the CNS.
Sensory receptors: Specialized cells that detect stimuli, such as light, sound, and touch.
Interneurons: Neurons within the CNS that connect other neurons.
Glial cells: Non-neuronal cells that support, protect, and nourish neurons.
Neurogenesis: The process of new neurons being created in the brain.
Neuroplasticity: The brain's ability to change and adapt in response to experiences.
