| '''Neurons''' are a species featured in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They appear to be large multicolored cylindrical creatures with whiskers on the tops of their heads. They appear in only one [[level]]: [[Neuron Jungle]]. Their name is the same as the {{wp|neuron|scientific term for a nerve cell}}, whose appearance roughly resembles that of the ally. However, it may be an attempt to transliterate the Japanese name to English, as it is also the noise Neurons make. The [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s can mostly use Neurons' heads as platforms to reach other places, but at times Neurons can push Yoshis off the edges of platforms to their defeat. Certain Neurons are also nestled in inconvenient areas, blocking places and [[fruit]]s off with their tall bodies. They have a spiked, underwater variation called the [[sea cactus]]. | |

| There are four types of Neurons: red with maroon spots (stays still but goes down when [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ed); light-blue with blue spots (tilts left and right and goes up and down); yellow with orange spots (goes straight up and straight down); and pink with purple spots (stays in the air but tilts from side to side). Neurons have eyes covered by light-blue or purple eyelids on the tops of their heads. When Yoshis touch an eye, it retracts into the Neuron. When Yoshis cause Neurons to move, they say the word "Nyoro!" in a deep voice.

| Artwork of the blue Neuron appears as a stamp in ''[[Mario Artist: Paint Studio]]''.
| | They have eyes on the top of their heads covered by light blue eyelids. When Yoshis touch an eye, it retracts into the Neuron. When Yoshis cause them to move, they make a unique sound that sounds as if they are shouting "Yobe!" or "Yobelum!" |
