Animal data reveal complex vagal innervation patterns; leaves open translation to human neuromodulation strategies.
What are the localized myocardial responses to direct electrical stimulation of small cardiac branches of the thoracic vagus?
Stimulation of small cardiac branches of the vagus nerve produces highly localized and differential myocardial responses, demonstrating the complex intermingling of sympathetic and parasympathetic components.
Armour et al. (1975) studied this question.
