Neurons are involved in signaling; the propagation of action potentials and the release of substances that effect other tissues. It is information in the wider context of the word since the individual signal only has significance in relation to the activities of other neurons as well.

What connects the Neurons in the brain at the intersection?

Synapses are connections between neurons through which "information" flows from one neuron to another.


Is it true that motor neurons pass messages from neuron to neuron?

Yes, an electrical signal is passed from the dendrites of 1 motor neuron, through it's cell body, through it's axon (the long tail looking feature of the neuron). It then travels through branches of the axon and forms synapses with other motor neurons, this is how the electrical signal is passed.


How does information travel through the small space between neurons in the brain?

Information travels through the small space between neurons in the brain through chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. When an electrical signal reaches the end of one neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse, the gap between neurons. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the neighboring neuron, transmitting the signal and allowing communication to occur between the two neurons.


What are neurons that carry information between sensory neurons and motor neurons?

Interneurons or association neurons.


Which part of a neuron transports information from the neuron to other neurons through an electrochemical reaction?

axon


Most neurons send information to?

Other neurons


What Neurons in center of the spinal cord that receives information from the sensory neurons?

Interneurons are the neurons in the center of the spinal cord that receive information from sensory neurons and then communicate this information to the motor neurons. They are responsible for processing and integrating the sensory input before sending signals to the motor neurons for appropriate responses.


What relays information for muscles?

Sensory neurons carry signals from the receptors in our body (e.g. thermal, pressure etc.) to the relay neurons, which are found in our spinal cord. Relay neurons then send signals along the spinal cord to the brain. The brain then processes the information and sends a signal back down the spinal cord, through the relay neurons. Relay neurons then sends signals to motor neurons, which will then affect the muscles' movements.Read more: What_does_neuron_cells_do

What is a nerve cell called?

A nerve cell is called a neuron. Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information through electrical and chemical signals in the nervous system.


What is the role of the neuron?

Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system and transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. They play a crucial role in processing and transmitting information within the brain and throughout the body, enabling functions like movement, thought, and sensory perception.
