Single-cell analysis of inhibitory efferent neurons of the zebrafish lateral line. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe zebrafish lateral line system is a sensory network made up of neuromasts, which contain hair cells to detect water flow. Neuromasts signal via sensory afferent neurons and their activity is modulated by efferent neurons.

Efferent control of hair cells mechanically coupled by artificial membranes [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe efferent system has been proposed to play a vital function in auditory and vestibular systems, by protecting the sensory hair cells from injury and preserving signal detection sensitivity.

The Long and Winding Road—Vestibular Efferent Anatomy in Mice
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022 The precise functional role of the Efferent Vestibular System (EVS) is still unclear, but the auditory olivocochlear efferent system has served as a reasonable model on the effects of a cholinergic and peptidergic input on inner ear organs.

Efferent projections of prokineticin 2 expressing neurons in the mouse suprachiasmatic nucleus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus is the predominant circadian clock in mammals. To function as a pacemaker, the intrinsic timing signal from the SCN must be transmitted to different brain regions.

Abnormal outer hair cell efferent innervation in Hoxb1-dependent sensorineural hearing loss.
PLoS Genetics, 2023 Autosomal recessive mutation of HOXB1 and Hoxb1 causes sensorineural hearing loss in patients and mice, respectively, characterized by the presence of higher auditory thresholds; however, the origin of the defects along the auditory pathway is still ...

Expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide in efferent vestibular system and vestibular nucleus in rats with motion sickness. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 UNLABELLED: Motion sickness presents a challenge due to its high incidence and unknown pathogenesis although it is a known fact that a functioning vestibular system is essential for the perception of motion sickness. Recent studies show that the efferent
