Types of Neurons Overview
Sensory Neurons: Transmit sensory information from sensory organs to the central nervous system.
Motor Neurons: Carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, controlling movement and response.
Interneurons: Facilitate communication between sensory and motor neurons, processing and interpreting information within the central nervous system.
Pyramidal Neurons: Found in the cerebral cortex, playing a role in higher cognitive functions.
Purkinje Cells: Located in the cerebellum, contributing to motor coordination.
Bipolar Neurons: Found in sensory organs, transmitting information with distinct axon and dendrite.
Understanding these neuron types elucidates their specialized roles in neural communication.
