߷There are three types of neurons.

⚡Sensory neurons respond to stimuli such as touch, sound or light that affect the cells of the sensory organs and they send signals to the spinal cord.⚡

⚡Interneurons connect neurons to other neurons within the same region of the brain or spinal cord.⚡
⚝ A group of connected neurons is called a neural circuit.
