Why are neurons so special?
YouTube video by Neuroscience and Beyond Why are neurons so special?

What makes neurons special? While all cells can change their gene expression and signals, neurons are unique because they form thousands of highly specific connections that can be modified independently. That specificity is what makes the brain so powerful and unique.
