Types of Neurons and Their Function
Medically reviewed by Huma Sheikh, MD Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals ...
Interneurons are the central nodes of neural circuits and allow for communication between sensory neurons, motor neurons, and the CNS. This category comprises the largest variety of neurons, which are ...
Relay neurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons. Motor neuron sends electrical impulses to an effector. Effector produces a response (muscle contracts to move hand away). Organisms are able ...
The array is physically divided into different sections: a sensory region, through which feedback and stimulation are provided to the neurons, and multiple motor regions. In Pong, a player must use ...
Neurons encoding behavioral states received significantly fewer inputs from motor cortical areas and ... activity through mechanisms beyond direct sensory feedback. Movement neuron activity ...
Mirror/echo neurons and auditory–motor interactions. An important role has been given to the mirror neuron system in neural models of sensory–motor integration. Considerable evidence that this ...
