Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, sensory neurons send information from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin to the brain. Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain to the rest of the body to allow muscles to move. These connections make up the way we think, learn, move, and feel.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory neurons are responsible for carrying nerve impulses from sensory receptors to the central nervous system or brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -When neurons communicate, the neurotransmitters from one neuron are released, cross the synapse, and attach themselves to special molecules in the next neuron called receptors. Receptors receive and process the message, then send it on to the next neuron. 4. Eventually, the message reaches the brain.
