Detailed explanation-1: -Interneurons (also known as association neurons) are neurons that are found exclusively in the central nervous system. ie Found in the brain and spinal cord and not in the peripheral segments of the nervous system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory neurons carry information from the sense organs (such as the eyes and ears) to the brain. Motor neurons control voluntary muscle activity, such as walking and talking, and carry messages from nerve cells in the brain to the muscles. Other neurons, all of which are called interneurons.
Detailed explanation-3: -For neurons in the brain, at least, this isn’t an easy question to answer. For the spinal cord though, we can say that there are three types of neurons: sensory, motor, and interneurons.
Detailed explanation-4: -Interneurons (also called internuncial neurons, relay neurons, association neurons, connector neurons, intermediate neurons or local circuit neurons) are neurons that connect to brain regions, i.e. not direct motor neurons or sensory neurons.
