Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interneurons receive input from sensory neurons and process that information before sending signals to motor neurons. In this analogy, the informant is the sensory neuron, providing input to the detectives who function as the interneurons - processing the information and deciding on the appropriate course of action before sending signals to the "motor neurons" (undercover officers) to take action at the docks.
