Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus is present in the cyton part of the nerve cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The region of the neuron containing the nucleus is known as the cell body, soma, or perikaryon (Figure 8.2). The cell body is the metabolic center of the neuron.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nucleus is one of the most obvious parts of the cell when you look at a picture of the cell. It’s in the middle of the cell, and the nucleus contains all of the cell’s chromosomes, which encode the genetic material.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell body (soma or perikaryon) contains the nucleus and other cell organelles. There are clusters of rough endoplasmic reticulum (not shown in Figure 1) that are called Nissl bodies or are sometimes referred to as chromatophilic substances.

Detailed explanation-5: -The neuron’s nucleus is the central area where all the neuronal protein synthesis takes place. The nucleus contains the genetic material that helps in the ribosomal RNA synthesis process. Another function of the neuron’s nucleus is to guide the axon hillock that generates the impulses throughout the axon.
