This type of neuron carries information from the brain to the muscles along a motor pathway, allowing for conscious and unconscious responses to occur.

What is reproducibility?
Reproducibility is using different conditions/participants and achieving the same/similar results to the previous study.
A mechanism of synaptic plasticity which allows dendrites and axons to develop new extensions or branches, enabling new synaptic connections to be formed.

What does internal and external validity refer to?
Internal validity measures how well a study is conducted (its structure) and how accurately its results reflect the studied group.
External validity relates to how applicable (generalisable) the findings are in the real world.
