Biology(?) 101: a basic, embarassing question:

Posted by Janelle on March 30, 2002, at 23:57:08

In a thread way above, someone wrote that Remeron blocks specific norepinephrine receptors called alpha2-receptors and that "serotonin neurons" also contain alpha2-receptors ...
Huh? What is a "serotonin neuron" -- this leads me to ask a very, very embarassing question (I can't believe I'm posting this!) -- what exactly is a neuron? And are neurons part of cells?
I know that serotonin is a neurotransmitter, so are there specific neurons that release and reuptake specific neurotransmitters? For example, is there a dopamine neuron that handles dopamine, etc.? Man, do I feel DUMB.
