Neurons can be classified based on their structure, function, and neurotransmitter usage. Structurally, neurons can be categorized as multipolar, bipolar, or unipolar. Functionally, they can be sensory neurons, motor neurons, or interneurons. Neurons can also be classified based on the neurotransmitter they use, such as dopamine, serotonin, or acetylcholine.
