What type of neurone carry electrical signal to the brain?
Afferent neurons (also called sensory neurons) carry signals to the central nervous system and the brain. Efferent neurons (also called motor neurons) carry signals from the brain.
Where are most neurons in the human body located?

How many neurons does the human brain have per square inch?
"100 billion", that's how many neurons there are totally in the human brain, I am interested if I "cut" a part of the human brain that was a cubic inch how many neurons would be in there?

What is the brain main source of energy?
Glucose is the main source of energy of the brain. It is converted to ATP inside the brain. However, the brain cells (neurons) themselves use some glucose. The other glucose is first metabolized and converted to "Lactate" by cells inside the brain called "Astrocytes". The lactate produced will then enter the neurons and then is converted to ATP.
Neurons that move impulses from the brain?
Motor Neurons
What neurons that move impulses from the brain?
MOTOR neurons
Neuron that brings information from senses to brain?
There are 2 different kinds of neurons within the body. The neurons that carry messages from senses to the brain are called Sensory Neurons while the neurons that cause the brain to make the body react are called Motor, or efferent, neurons.
How do receptor neurons help people perceive smells?
Receptor neurons in the nostrils first detect an odor by coming into contact with and reacting to gas molecules of the substance. Then the receptor neurons send information about the odor along the olfactory nerve to the brain.
What are the cells of the brain?
