are neurons that connect with other neurons, as compared to sensory and motor neurons. Most neurons are interneurons.
association neurons of the spinal cord; interneurons connect the anterior and posterior horns of grey matter and are involved in the reflex arc (they function within the same segment of the spinal cord)
One of the three types of neurons, these neurons communicate only with other neurons, typically within a specific brain region. go to glossary index
are neurons with either small axons that project locally within the CNS (so-called local interneurons) or long axons that relay to distant CNS targets (relay interneurons)
The most abundant type of neuron in the central nervous system. They are the "middlemen" of nerve circuitry that connect only to other neurons, not to sensory cells or muscles, and help transmit nerve impulses. Interneurons are crucial determinants of many rhythmic motor behaviors.
Neurons that process signals from one or more sensory neurons and relay signals to motor neurons. Aka connector neurons.
Generally small neurons in the spinal cord that contact other neurons and form part of a network of connections.
neurons with axons that remain within the spinal cord.
Neurons that carry information from one neuron to another (rather than to a gland or muscle fiber or from a sensory receptor).
Neurons between sensory and motor neurons; the vast majority of neurons are interneurons
Neurons in the central nervous system that receive messages from sensory neurons and send them to other interneurons or to motor neurons. See also motor neuron, sensory neuron.
Most generally any neurons which are not motor or sensory. Interneurons may also refer to neurons whose axons remain within a particular brain region as contrasted with projection neurons which have axons projecting to other brain regions.
