It depends on what part of the brain or spinal cord. If it is in the brain it can cause death or complete paralysis, if it is in the spinal cord e.g. Lower part of the spinal cord you are paralysed from the hips down.

most of the neurons in the brain and spinal cord are
Sensory neurons
No, neurons in the brain include interneurons as well as sensory neurons and motor neurons. Interneurons primarily communicate with other neurons in the central nervous system, while sensory neurons carry information from sensory organs to the brain and spinal cord, and motor neurons transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands.
Sensory neurons gather information and send it to your spinal cord.
afferent neurons
Signals are transmitted through the spinal cord and brain via neurons.
The dorsal cavity of the body contains the brain and spinal cord, which are considered the Central Nervous System. The same neurons that make up the brain also make up the spinal cord. The only difference is that the neurons in the brain :like a pony tail of hair" only differentiate as a result of their job; as a transmitter or a receptor,
The sensory neurons carry impulses through the spinal cord to the brain.
Sensory neurons
In CNS i.e. in spinal chord and in brain
Interneurons send messages from the spinal cord to the brain.
