Pickup Neck

What is a neck pickup?
I see a lot of comments on guitar covers that say "I used the neck pickup"...
I'm just curious of what a neck pickup is...
On an electric instrument, a pickup is the little box that "picks up" the sound from the strings so that it can be amplified.
A typical electric guitar will have two pickups:
-a bridge pickup which is closer to the end of the strings on the body of the guitar
-a neck pickup which is closer to the fretboard
With each pickup being in a slightly different place, they pick up a slightly different tone. If someone says that they used the neck pickup, that means they have switched their guitar's pickup selector to only use the sound from the neck pickup.
