What part of a neuron contains the nucleus?

A (proto)typical neuron contains three parts: a cell body, an axon, and a tree of dendrites. The cell body is also called the soma, which comes from the Latin for "body". Among many important tasks, the cell body houses the nucleus and most of the other cytoplasmic organelles. For this reason, yet another name for the cell body is the perikaryon, which comes from the Greek for "around the nut", where "nut" refers to the nucleus; thus the cell body is the thing that surrounds the nucleus.The nucleus is present in the cyton, or main body of the neuron.Soma or the cell body
