Characterizing the Access of Cholinergic Antagonists to Efferent Synapses in the Inner Ear
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Stimulation of cholinergic efferent neurons innervating the inner ear has profound, well-characterized effects on vestibular and auditory physiology, after activating distinct ACh receptors (AChRs) on afferents and hair cells in peripheral endorgans ...

Olivocochlear Changes Associated With Aging Predominantly Affect the Medial Olivocochlear System
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is a public health problem that has been associated with negative health outcomes ranging from increased frailty to an elevated risk of developing dementia.

Cholinergic efferent synaptic transmission regulates the maturation of auditory hair cell ribbon synapses [PDF]
Open Biology, 2013 Spontaneous electrical activity generated by developing sensory cells and neurons is crucial for the maturation of neural circuits. The full maturation of mammalian auditory inner hair cells (IHCs) depends on patterns of spontaneous action potentials ...

Evolutionary convergence of a neural mechanism in the cavefish lateral line system
eLife, 2022 Animals can evolve dramatic sensory functions in response to environmental constraints, but little is known about the neural mechanisms underlying these changes.

Corticofugal and Brainstem Functions Associated With Medial Olivocochlear Cholinergic Transmission
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Cholinergic transmission is essential for survival and reproduction, as it is involved in several physiological responses. In the auditory system, both ascending and descending auditory pathways are modulated by cholinergic transmission, affecting the ...

The auditory efferent system in mosquitoes
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Whilst acoustic communication forms an integral component of the mating behavior of many insect species, it is particularly crucial for disease-transmitting mosquitoes; swarming males rely on hearing the faint sounds of flying females for courtship ...

Development and migration of the zebrafish rhombencephalic octavolateral efferent neurons
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2020 Abstract In vertebrate animals, motor and sensory efferent neurons carry information from the central nervous system (CNS) to peripheral targets. These two types of efferent systems sometimes bear a close resemblance, sharing common segmental organization, axon pathways, and chemical messengers.
