Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An intrinsic neuron, also known as an interneuron, is a neuron whose dendrites and axons are contained within a single region of the CNS, such as the spinal cord. They are responsible for integrating and processing sensory information and providing output to other neurons within that region. Efferent neurons carry signals away from the CNS to effectors such as muscles, while afferent neurons carry sensory information towards the CNS. Purkinje neurons are a type of neuron found in the cerebellum.
