Implication

Anatomical tracing shows vagal input to rat prevertebral ganglia; leaves open functional relevance to human sympathetic modulation.

Structured PICO

Population

Rats (n=15 analyzed)

Intervention

Anterograde labeling of vagal efferent preganglionic neurons by injecting DiI or DiA into the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus, and fluorescent counterstaining with Fluorogold

Comparator

Control experiments including injections in vagotomized animals and direct selective labeling of vagal afferents from the nodose ganglia

Outcome

Morphological evidence of vagal efferent innervation of ganglion cells in prevertebral gangliasurrogate

This study provides morphological evidence that vagal efferent preganglionic neurons innervate principal ganglion cells of prevertebral ganglia in rats, suggesting a mechanism for vagal modulation of sympathetic outflow.
