The vagus nerve is made up of 20% efferent fibers and 80% afferent fibers, which make reciprocal connections between the brain and our organs. Afferent fibers transmit sensory information upward and terminate in four nuclei located in the medulla, including the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). Its efferent functions include sending parasympathetic cholinergic signals from brain nuclei to target organs. ^,
