Motor neuron
| Name: | Motor neuron |
| Description: | Neuron that forms the final common pathway or primary neuron populations of the motor system; they are directly responsible for producing somatic, autonomic, and neuroendocrine responses and their output is a function of inputs from higher levels of the motor system hierarchy, and the cognitive, behavioral state, and sensory systems (Swanson, 2004, pp. 175 to 6). |
