Detailed explanation-1: -Interneurons acts as a “middle-man” between afferent, or sensory, neurons, which receive signals from the peripheral nervous system, and efferent, or motor, neurons, which transmit signals from the brain. It also connects to other interneurons, allowing them to communicate with one another.
Detailed explanation-2: -Interneurons. As the name suggests, interneurons are the ones in between-they connect spinal motor and sensory neurons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Relay Neurons A relay neuron (also known as an interneuron) allows sensory and motor neurons to communicate with each other. Relay neurons connect various neurons within the brain and spinal cord and are easy to recognize due to their short axons. Alike to motor neurons, interneurons are multipolar.
