During active movements, neural replicas of the underlying motor commands may assist in adapting motion-detecting sensory systems to an animal’s own behaviour. The transmission of such motor efference ...

The autonomic nervous system innervates all body organs, including the cardiovascular system. Smooth muscle in arteries, arterioles, and veins and pericytes in capillaries receive autonomic ...

A leading theory about the nerves that send signals from the brain to the cochlea (known as "efferent" fibers) is that they control the cochlea's response to sound on a short-term basis, similar to ...
