'''Neurons''' are a species featured in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They appear to be large multi-colored slug-like creatures with whiskers on the top of their heads. They only appear in one level, 4-4: [[Neuron Jungle]]. Their name is the same as the scientific term "neuron", which is a nerve cell in a human body. However, it may be an attempt to transliterate the Japanese name to English, as it is also the noise they make. The [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s can mostly use their heads as platforms to reach other places, but at times Neurons can push Yoshis off the edges of platforms to their defeat. Certain Neurons will also be nestled in inconvenient areas, blocking places and [[fruit]]s off with their tall bodies. They have a spiked, underwater variation called the [[sea cactus]].
