Definitions:

Motor Neurons

Motor neurons are nerve cells that originate in the spinal cord and brainstem and send signals to muscles, stimulating them to contract and produce movement.

Interneurons

Neurons that transmit impulses between other neurons, especially as part of reflex arcs or neural circuits, without directly innervating muscles or glands.

EPSPs

Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials, which are temporary increases in postsynaptic membrane potential caused by the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell.

IPSPs

Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potentials (IPSPs) are synaptic potentials that make a postsynaptic neuron less likely to generate an action potential.
