Neurons, also known as nerve cells. These brain cells send and receive messages.

While neurons share many characteristics with other cells, they are physically and functionally distinct.

The human brain possesses 100 billion neurons and 10-50 times more glial cells than monkeys or any other mammal, making it the most intellectually capable among primates and animals in general. 

Therefore, the correct answer is 1 hundred billion neurons.
