Efferent sensory systems have emerged as major components of
processing by the central nervous system. Whereas the afferent
sensory systems bring environmental information into the brain,
efferent systems function to monitor, sharpen, and attend
selectively to certain stimuli while ignoring others. This ability
of the brain to implement these functions enables the organism to
make fine discriminations and to respond appropriately to
environmental conditions so that survival is enhanced. Our focus
will be on auditory and vestibular efferents, topics linked
together by the inner ear connection. The biological utility of the
efferent system is striking. How it functions is less well
understood, and with each new discovery, more questions arise. The
book that is proposed here reflects our vision to share what is
known on the topic by authors who actually have made the
observations.
