Summary Introduction

To identify: The four different types of neuronal pools and explain how they function.

Concept introduction: Neuronal pools are functional groups of neurons that occur in the grey matter of the brain and spinal cord. These groups process and integrate the received information and transmit the processed information to the target organs. They receive an input from the part of other pool and generate an output. These neuronal pools may produce excitatory or an inhibitory effect on other neuronal pools.
