Neurons located within the central nervous system that connect sensory and motor neurons, playing a critical role in the integration of sensory input and motor output.
Premotor Neurons
Neurons located in the brain's motor areas involved in the planning and initiation of movement, working closely with motor neurons to execute movements.
Sensory Neurons
Cells that transmit sensory information from the body's periphery to the central nervous system.
