May link lower urinary tract reflexes to cardiovascular sympathetic neurons in rats; leaves open human relevance and clinical translation.
Does lower urinary tract stimulation evoke reflex changes in synaptic activity in superior cervical ganglion cells in rats?
Lower urinary tract stimulation evokes reflex changes in synaptic activity in superior cervical ganglion cells, suggesting that sympathetic neurons involved in cardiovascular regulation participate in these reflexes.
Häbler et al. (1999) studied this question.
