if some one could add sections for different types of neurons, ex.presynaptic. not really a type but still very important, also need the section as a link to other articles im working on thanks [[User:Royissick|Roy Stanley]] ([[User talk:Royissick|talk]]) 20:41, 15 January 2008 (UTC) |

One part of the article says 100 billion total cells but then it later says 100 billion synapses. Which is right? |

Some room for endocannabinoids?
I'm no expert, but is this article appropriate for information regarding the endocannabinoid system? It's a chemical used by neurons, but I don't know enough about it to know if it should be classified as a neurotransmitter, or if it acts in another capacity, or if it isn't really germaine to this article. Well, if someone smarter than me knows, maybe you can let us know. Thanks. Rhetth 20:12, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
This picture must go in this article
I'm no expert on wikianything, and I would go in and add this image directly, but I don't know how to do it and make it look decent. Here's the picture: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d0/Complete_neuron_cell_diagram.svg It's a featured image, and it visualizes a couple dozen essentials about the nerve cell. I don't know why it's not already on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ornen (talk • contribs) 21:21, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that the diagram is very useful. For now, I've added it at the end, but I wouldn't object to seeing it integrated earlier. --Arcadian 01:11, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Law of Dynamic Polarization Described Backwards?
In the section titled "The neuron doctrine", there is this text, "the Law of Dynamic Polarization, which states that neural transmission goes only in one direction, from dendrites toward axons". Shouldn't that be "from axons toward dendrites"?

I believe you are right, it is backwards if it is reffering to communication BETWEEN two cells. If it is reffering to transmition WITH IN a cell, then it is correct; however, it is need of clarification. If no one proves that it is right the way it is writen, i'll change it in a couple of days. --Marvuglia (talk) 20:58, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
