Neurons can be categorized in several ways:
central v. peripheral
sensory v. motot
myelinated v. non-myelinated
and there are probably other ways to categorize them as well

Neurotransmitters categorized as inhibitory would not be expected to?

Neurotransmitters categorized as inhibitory would not be expected to directly promote the firing of neurons. Instead, they typically work by hyperpolarizing the postsynaptic membrane, making it less likely for an action potential to occur.


How do sensory neurons and monitor neurons differ?

Sensory neurons carry sensory information from the body to the brain, while motor neurons carry signals from the brain to the body to control movement. Monitor neurons are specialized neurons that help regulate and coordinate the activity of other neurons in the nervous system.


Do neurons get replaced in the human brain?

No, neurons in the human brain do not typically get replaced. Once neurons are damaged or lost, they are not usually regenerated or replaced by new neurons.


Sensory neurons and motor neurons are connected by?

Sensory neurons and motor neurons are connected by interneurons in the central nervous system. Interneurons help relay signals from sensory neurons to motor neurons, allowing for the coordination of sensory input and motor output in response to various stimuli.


Are neurons in the brain only interneurons?

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.
