Efferent neurons are responsible for sending information from a structure to other neurons or muscles. Therefore, if a neuroscientist stated that a brain structure had efferent neurons, it can be concluded that the structure sends information to other neurons or muscles, but it does not necessarily mean that it receives information from other neurons (choice A). The presence of efferent neurons does not necessarily imply the presence of afferent neurons (choice B) or interneurons (choice D).
