  2. Interneuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interneuron

    Interneurons can be further broken down into two groups: local interneurons and relay interneurons. [4] Local interneurons have short axons and form circuits with nearby neurons to analyze small pieces of information. [5] Relay interneurons have long axons and connect circuits of neurons in one region of the brain with those in other regions. [5]

    Interneurons also known as association neurons are present throughout the central nervous system forming links between the sensory and motor fibres. [5] Thus the somatic nervous system consists of two parts: Spinal nerves: They are mixed nerves that carry sensory information into and motor commands out of the spinal cord. [6]

    Cortical interneurons only make up around a fifth of the neuronal population but they play a major role in modulating cortical activity needed for cognition and many aspects of learning and memory. Cortical interneurons vary in shape, molecular make-up, and electrophysiology; they function collectively to maintain the balance between excitation ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renshaw_cell

    Renshaw cells are inhibitory interneurons found in the gray matter of the spinal cord, and are associated in two ways with an alpha motor neuron.. They receive an excitatory collateral from the alpha neuron's axon as they emerge from the motor root, and are thus "kept informed" of how vigorously that neuron is firing.

    One target is a set of spinal interneurons that project to motor neurons controlling the arm muscles. The interneurons excite the motor neurons, and if the excitation is strong enough, some of the motor neurons generate action potentials, which travel down their axons to the point where they make excitatory synaptic contacts with muscle cells.
