Separate brain and spinal cord sections?

I wondered if this is a bit confusing. The text about the various meanings of this term is mixed together while the only diagram is of a reflex arc (i.e. in the spinal cord). I'd quite like to have two headings, one for spinal cord interneurons and one for cortical inhibitory interneurons. Anyone have any opinions? I'll have a think about it and get back to it when I get a chance. I have a feeling this could get very complicated... HilJackson 09:51, 4 July 2006 (UTC) Talk to me‼[reply]

Example paragraph

I'm pretty sure the CNS example ("An example of interneurons is inhibitory interneurons in the neocortex which selectively inhibit sections of the thalamus...") and reference to SICI are inaccurate. The paragraph should probably be scrapped entirely but I thought I'd check first to see if anyone wants to do some research and clean it up.PhineasG (talk) 14:16, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely incorrect. I'm currently writing a thesis on the topic. Upon defending in a few weeks, I'll try to expand and clean up this page. 68.46.183.96 (talk) 21:03, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bipolar neuron

"Interneuron" is not synonymous with "bipolar neuron". An interneuron is defined as a neuron that connects afferent and efferent neurons, whereas "bipolar neuron" refers to a specific structural class of neuron (notably found in the retina). Bipolar neurons are interneurons, but not all interneurons are bipolar neurons. Hence, the terms cannot be used interchangeably. Fuzzform (talk) 18:46, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
