Interneurons, which are found only in the CNS, connect one neuron to another. They receive information from other neurons (either sensory neurons or interneurons) and transmit information to other neurons (either motor neurons or interneurons) (...)

 

Interneurons are the most numerous class of neurons and are involved in processing information, both in simple reflex circuits (like those triggered by hot objects) and in more complex circuits in the brain. It would be combinations of interneurons in your brain that would allow you to draw the conclusion that things that looked like hot coals weren't good to pick up, and, hopefully, retain that information for future reference."

 

 

We don't really know quite how the brain "interprets" the signals, but the answer to your question is more or less yes. As what actually happens is still not clear I'd try to avoid the word interpret, and go with processing the way the article does, but that's just my private opinion.
