Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Interneurons are multipolar nerve cells (see image), meaning that they have more than one dendrite. Although they are found throughout the brain, each one is confined to a particular region: they do not connect different parts of the brain to one another.
Detailed explanation-2: -Interneurons (INs) primarily receive and relay signals to other neurons, of which propriospinal are a class of spinal INs that connect discrete neuronal circuits in the spinal cord.
Detailed explanation-3: -Interneurons, or association neurons, are located entirely within the CNS in which they form the connecting link between the afferent and efferent neurons.
