They act as signal controllers, relaying important information between sensory and motor neurons. There are two types: Local interneurons: These interneurons have short axons and work with nearby ...

extending beyond traditional sensory encoding. The authors recorded neuronal activity from the IC at single unit level when monkeys were passively exposed or actively engaged in behavioral task. They ...

Spinal muscular atrophy is caused by mutations in the survival motor neurons gene, SMN1. The SMN protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and the nuclear bodies. One hallmark of spinal muscular ...

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 ...
