The Cholinergic Lateral Line Efferent Synapse: Structural, Functional and Molecular Similarities With Those of the Cochlea

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
Vertebrate hair cell (HC) systems are innervated by efferent fibers that modulate their response to external stimuli. In mammals, the best studied efferent-HC synapse, the cholinergic medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent system, makes direct synaptic ...

A low affinity cis-regulatory BMP response element restricts target gene activation to subsets of Drosophila neurons

eLife, 2020
Retrograde BMP signaling and canonical pMad/Medea-mediated transcription regulate diverse target genes across subsets of Drosophila efferent neurons, to differentiate neuropeptidergic neurons and promote motor neuron terminal maturation. How a common BMP

Efferent Vestibular Neurons Show Homogenous Discharge Output But Heterogeneous Synaptic Input Profile In Vitro. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Despite the importance of our sense of balance we still know remarkably little about the central control of the peripheral balance system. While previous work has shown that activation of the efferent vestibular system results in modulation of afferent ...

Neuronal regulation of the gut immune system and neuromodulation for treating inflammatory bowel disease

FASEB BioAdvances, 2021
The gut immune system in the healthy intestine is anti‐inflammatory, but can move to a pro‐inflammatory state when the gut is challenged by pathogens or in disease.

Restricted loss of olivocochlear but not vestibular efferent neurons in the senescent gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus)

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2015
Degeneration of hearing and vertigo are symptoms of age-related auditory and vestibular disorders reflecting multifactorial changes in the peripheral and central nervous system whose interplay remains largely unknown. Originating bilaterally in the brain

Physiological characterization of vestibular efferent brainstem neurons using a transgenic mouse model. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The functional role of efferent innervation of the vestibular end-organs in the inner ear remains elusive. This study provides the first physiological characterization of the cholinergic vestibular efferent (VE) neurons in the brainstem by utilizing a ...

Activating Interneurons in Local Inhibitory Circuits by High-Frequency Stimulations at the Efferent Fibers of Pyramidal Neurons in Rat Hippocampal CA1 Region

Brain Sciences, 2022
Stimulation-induced inhibition is one of the important effects of high-frequency stimulation (HFS) utilized by the therapy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat certain neurological diseases such as epilepsy.

Aged mice are less susceptible to motion sickness and show decreased efferent vestibular activity compared to young adults

Brain and Behavior, 2023
Introduction The efferent vestibular system (EVS) is a feedback circuit thought to modulate vestibular afferent activity by inhibiting type II hair cells and exciting calyx‐bearing afferents in the peripheral vestibular organs.
