That is a really good question, I would like to know more myself.
This page has some clues, https://www.openanesthesia.org/keywords/peripheral_nerves_sensory_vs_motor/
regarding the motor nerves they do have a different composition and conduction velocity compared to nerves associated with sensory activity.

Reply to comment by Xydraus in TIL the Pacific island nation of Nauru has been so damaged by phosphate mining that in 1964 Australia offered to repopulate the entire nation to Curtis Island near the Australian Coast. Nauru refused the offer in order to maintain their sovereignty and not become part of Australia. by triviafrenzy
Nauru became self-governing in January 1966, and following a two-year constitutional convention, it became independent on 31 January 1968 under founding president Hammer DeRoburt.[64] In 1967, the people of Nauru purchased the assets of the British Phosphate Commissioners, and in June 1970 control passed to the locally-owned Nauru Phosphate Corporation (NPC).[37] Income from the mines made Nauruans among the richest people in the world.[65][66] In 1989, Nauru took legal action against Australia in the International Court of Justice over Australia's administration of the island, in particular, Australia's failure to remedy the environmental damage caused by phosphate mining. Certain Phosphate Lands: Nauru v. Australia led to an out-of-court settlement to rehabilitate the mined-out areas of Nauru.[53][67]

Reply to comment by InternetPeon in Training does not improve clinical psychology students’ mentalization abilities, study finds by lolfuys
Most clinical psychologists don't prescribe medication. I think the study is saying that mentalisation is an inherent ability possibly improved through actual practise rather than training.
