To synthesize physiological evidence on the cellular subtypes, electrophysiological properties, and interneuronal synaptic interactions within the mammalian intrinsic cardiac nervous system.
Evaluation of physiological and neurochemical evidence regarding afferent, efferent, and local circuit cardiac neurons.
Analysis of synaptic connectivity between intrinsic cardiac ganglia, intrathoracic pathways, and the central nervous system.
The mammalian intrinsic cardiac nervous system contains diverse neuronal populations, including afferent, local circuit, sympathetic efferent, and parasympathetic efferent neurons.
Complex interneuronal and intrathoracic synaptic connections mediated by various neurochemicals drive diverse electrophysiological responses during cardiac regulation.
