Which type of neurons are responsible for carrying information into the central nervous system?

The type of neurons responsible for carrying information into the central nervous system are sensory neurons. These neurons are specialized to detect stimuli from both the external environment (such as light, sound, and temperature) and internal conditions (such as pain or changes in body position). They transmit this sensory information to the brain and spinal cord, allowing for the processing and interpretation of these signals.

Motor neurons and efferent neurons, on the other hand, are involved in transmitting signals from the central nervous system out to the muscles and glands, which is the opposite direction of travel compared to sensory neurons. Interneurons primarily function as connectors within the central nervous system, processing information between sensory inputs and motor outputs, rather than carrying information into the system itself.
