Motor neurons involved in the transmission of motor information from the brain to the spinal cord and peripheral organs.

There are 2 types of motor neurons:

  • Central motor neurons, which are located in the central nervous system and carry nerve impulses from the brain and cerebellum to the spinal cord;
  • Peripheral motor neurons, which receive nerve impulses from the central motor neurons and transmit them to the muscles.
