Here's a pay dirt link on neuroanatomy. Lots of pictures, diagrams, and even sound files so you can pronounce it correctly.
http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/hw/neuroanatomy/nacnsbrn.html
It's even close by PSB, at Univ of Chicago.
Here's a link in the same site with pictures and descriptions of a neuron:
http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/cells.html
You can even take a quiz when you’re done!
Have fun.
> 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.
