Fruit flies, fast skiers and electrical signals between muscles and neurons are helping researchers uncover a possible link ...

Transplantation of embryonic cortical neurons into the damaged adult motor cortex was previously shown to induce partial recovery, but reports on graft efferents have varied from no efferent ...

Efferent neurons — these take messages from ... These are found between motor neurons and muscle fibers (the neuromuscular junction). Adrenergic — release norepinephrine (adrenaline).

In vertebrates, motor neurons (also called motoneurons) are efferent neurons that originate in the spinal cord and synapse with muscle fibers to facilitate muscle contraction and with muscle ...

5 It has been shown that the enzyme ChAT (choline acetyltransferase) is only expressed in efferent neurons meaning that different types of motor neurons can be distinguished from one another using ...

Afferent nerves – also known as sensory neurons – deliver information from sensory receptors to the brain. Efferent nerves – also known as motor neurons – carry signals from the brain to the periphery ...

integration and motor. The peripheral nervous system comprises 2 additional nervous systems: the somatic nervous system, which includes all voluntary efferent neurons, and the autonomic nervous ...

Voluntary control over the lower urinary tract is enabled by a web of interactions between autonomic and efferent nerve pathways ... arising in the S2-S4 motor neurons in Onuf’s nucleus supply ...

Axons of barosensitive neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla descend through the spinal cord and activate the two-neuron (preganglionic and postganglionic) sympathetic efferent pathway to ...

New research may have discovered a key piece in the puzzle of how hearing works by identifying the role of the olivocochlear efferent system ... a portion of auditory nerve fibers is missing).
