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 ...

Uncovering diversity in the development of central noradrenergic neurons and their efferents [PDF]
Brain Research, 2016 Uncovering the mechanisms that underlie central noradrenergic neuron heterogeneity is essential to understanding selective subtype vulnerability to disease and environmental insult. Using recombinase-based intersectional genetic fate mapping we have previously demonstrated that molecularly distinct progenitor populations give rise to mature ...

The lateral superior olive in the mouse: Two systems of projecting neurons
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022 The lateral superior olive (LSO) is a key structure in the central auditory system of mammals that exerts efferent control on cochlear sensitivity and is involved in the processing of binaural level differences for sound localization.

Dopaminergic Inhibition of Na+ Currents in Vestibular Inner Ear Afferents
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Inner ear hair cells form synapses with afferent terminals and afferent neurons carry signals as action potentials to the central nervous system. Efferent neurons have their origins in the brainstem and some make synaptic contact with afferent dendrites ...

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.

, 2010 The discovery of otoacoustic emissions (OAE) has advanced our understanding of cochlear mechanics and the efferent auditory system. OAE are sounds generated withinnormal cochlea either spontaneously or in response to stimulation.

Innervation of blood vessels in subcortical regions of the brain by immunoreactive neurons
Анналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2017 Human dorsal thalamic nuclei (VA, VL and Md), striatum,pallidum and capsula interna were studied. Structural elementsof neurons that provide afferent and efferent innervation ofblood vessels in the human brain were stained for NADPhdiaphorase,parvalbumin

Periaqueductal efferents to dopamine and GABA neurons of the VTA
PLOS ONE, 2017 Abstract Neurons in the periaqueductal gray (PAG) modulate threat responses and nociception. Activity in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) on the other hand can cause reinforcement and aversion. While in many situations these behaviors are related, the anatomical substrate of a crosstalk between the PAG and VTA remains

A point mutation in the hair cell nicotinic cholinergic receptor prolongs cochlear inhibition and enhances noise protection. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2009 The transduction of sound in the auditory periphery, the cochlea, is inhibited by efferent cholinergic neurons projecting from the brainstem and synapsing directly on mechanosensory hair cells.
