Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Olfactory receptor neurons are sensory neurons because they are responsible for detecting chemical odorants and transmitting this sensory information to the brain. Motor neurons control muscle movements, interneurons facilitate communication between neurons, and Purkinje neurons are involved in motor coordination in the cerebellum.
