To review the regulatory effects of peripheral autonomic neurons within intrathoracic ganglia on cardiac myocytes and overall cardiac performance.
Synthesized findings from in situ and in vitro experimental models examining neuronal synaptology and chemical sensitivities.
Analyzed neural circuits within intrinsic cardiac and extracardiac intrathoracic ganglia receiving inputs from thoracic and extrathoracic tissues.
The intrathoracic nervous system functions as an integrated distributive processing network rather than a simple relay pathway.
Peripheral autonomic ganglia integrate multisensory feedback from cardiac, pulmonary, and vascular tissues to directly modulate cardiac myocyte activity and maintain circulatory balance.

May guide neural therapy development in cardiac disease; leaves open validation in prospective human studies.

Armour et al. (1995) studied this question.
