Examplesofefferent
efferentThe change in response to varyingefferentsympathetic tone is much slower, occurring on a time scale up to 20 seconds.From theCambridge English CorpusGonadotropinreleasing hormone, a neuropeptide ofefferentprojections to the teleost retina induces light-adaptive spinule formation on horizontal cell dendrites in dark-adapted preparations kept in vitro.From theCambridge English CorpusAdditionally,efferentprojections from the wulst to the diencephalic, mesencephalic, and pretectal structures are evident.From theCambridge English CorpusAfferent andefferentsubcortical projections of behaviorally defined sectors of prefrontal granular cortex.From theCambridge English CorpusAmong the five efferents that showed premotor activity, none showed vigorous discharges with saccades.From theCambridge English CorpusClearly,efferentadjustment of the temporal bandpass encoded by these limited capacity fibers would improve the information that the eye could send to the brain.From theCambridge English CorpusLimulus photoreceptors do not contain an endogenous circadian oscillator, but rely uponefferentoutflow from a central clock for circadian timing.From theCambridge English CorpusThese circuits provide means to alter or adjust behavior via afferent andefferentconnections within the prefrontal cortex.From theCambridge English CorpusThese depend on, among other things, explicitefferentand afferent transmissions with respect to an emulator process.From theCambridge English CorpusTheefferentlimb comprises sympathetic nerves to the heart, vasculature and cardiac vagus nerve.From theCambridge English CorpusWe find it difficult to escape the conclusion from these considerations that even basic aspects of visual perception must have a strong "efferent" aspect.From theCambridge English CorpusAlthough centrifugal innervation of the primate retina has not been established, some morphological studies suggest the presence ofefferentfibers in monkey and human retina.From theCambridge English CorpusTheefferentlimb is in resistance arterioles and consists of sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction.From theCambridge English CorpusAdditionally, the presence of melatonin receptor protein on putative retinalefferentfibers suggests a role for melatonin in the central control of retinal sensitivity.From theCambridge English CorpusIt remains to discuss the equivalents of the sensory or afferent and the motor orefferentneurons.From theCambridge English CorpusThese examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
