Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Motor neurons control voluntary and involuntary movements, and are responsible for coordinating movement. Anne's symptoms suggest a problem with her motor neurons. Sensory neurons carry information from sensory receptors to the brain, while interneurons are responsible for communicating between neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Purkinje cells are specific types of interneurons found in the cerebellum, which are involved in motor coordination, but would not be the likely source of Anne's difficulties based on the information provided.
