How many? Use enough, but not too many. Questions like this are impossible to answer, because the answer depends on your problem.
Start by reading things like
doc nntool
But really, it sounds like you need to learn fundamental information about neural networks. For that you may need to read a book.

Search the NEWSGROUP and ANSWERS using
Ntrneq Nw
where I have used the criterion that the number of UNKNOWN weights, Nw, should not exceed the number of training EQUATIONS Ntrneq.
No. of SEARCH HITS
NEWSGROUP ANSWERS
Ntrneq Nw 43 152
This yields an upperbound, Hub, on the number of hidden nodes in a single hidden layer net.
If more hidden nodes are required, one can replace the default training function TRAINLM with TRAINBR
help trainbr
doc trainbr
Hope this helps.
Thank you for formally acceptingmy answer

thank you so much... and do you suggest me a book of neuronal network?

Sorry, I am an old geezer who is not familiar with the recent literature.
Why don't you post a request in the NEWSGROUP?
