Interneurons in Brain Stem and Spinal Cord (None)
- Target
- None
- Molecular classification
- Neuron, GABAergic neuron, Glycinergic neuron, Glutamatergic neuron
01
Overview
Interneurons are specialized nerve cells located exclusively within the brain stem and spinal cord. They act as connectors between sensory and motor neurons, and other interneurons, forming complex neural circuits. They play essential roles in processing information, coordinating reflexes, modulating motor neuron activity, and regulating autonomic functions. Subtypes are diverse, varying in location, connectivity, neurotransmitter, and function (e.g., propriospinal, commissural, GABAergic, glycinergic, glutamatergic).
02
Mechanism of action
Varies depending on the specific interneuron subtype and neurotransmitter. Includes inhibition of neuronal activity via GABA or glycine, and excitation via glutamate.
