Interneurons are a type of neuron found in the central nervous system that act as a bridge between sensory and motor neurons. They play a critical role in processing and transmitting information within the brain and spinal cord. Interneurons help regulate the flow of signals between different parts of the nervous system, allowing for complex cognitive and motor functions to occur. Research in this area focuses on understanding the diverse roles of interneurons in neural circuits, their development and function, and how disruptions in interneuron activity can contribute to neurological disorders such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, and autism. Additionally, researchers are exploring the potential therapeutic strategies targeting interneurons to treat these disorders.
