Question

Neurons that relay information within the cns and are the location of information processing are called __________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Interneurons

Explanation:

An interneuron or integrative neuron is a central nervous system neuron, usually small and short axon, that interconnects with other neurons; but never with sensory receptors or muscle fibers, allowing more complex functions.

The interneuron, also called the association neuron, has the function of analyzing sensory information and storing part of it. It also acts on reflex acts, transforming a stimulus in response at the level of the spinal cord. They are located between sensory and motor neurons and are located in the upper nerve centers. Interneurons are multipolar neurons, which connect afferent neurons with efferent neurons in the neuronal or nerve tracts. In other words, they function as a communicational bridge, intercommunicating sensory neurons with motor neurons. Like motor cells, interneurons are only found in the central nervous system. In contrast to the peripheral nervous system, all CNS neurons appear to be interneurons, as they are in communication with many other neurons. However, the term "interneuron" refers to neurons that have axon and dendritic extensions of local extension and not distant, that is, short.
