These signals between neurons occur via specialized connections called synapses . Neurons can connect to each other to form neural networks . Neurons are the primary components of the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, and of the peripheral nervous system, which comprises the autonomic nervous system and the somatic nervous system . </P> <P> There are many types of specialized neurons . Sensory neurons respond to one particular type of stimulus such as touch, sound, or light and all other stimuli affecting the cells of the sensory organs, and converts it into an electrical signal via transduction, which is then sent to the spinal cord or brain . Motor neurons receive signals from the brain and spinal cord to cause everything from muscle contractions and affect glandular outputs . Interneurons connect neurons to other neurons within the same region of the brain or spinal cord in neural networks . </P>
