Abstract:
Objective To examine the cardiac primary afferents passing through the superior cervical ganglion which the sensory neurons are located in the vagal ganglion. Methods Retrograde tracing transport combined with immunohistochemistry. Results After injecting the horseradish peroxidase(HRP) into the superior cervical ganglion in the rat, the small number of retrogradely labeled neurons consistently appeared in the upper local portion of the nodose ganglion. The same injecting of fluorogold(FG) followed by immunohistochemical staining with SP, it was found that the double\|labeled neurons with FG/SP were approximately 20% occupied the total population of the SP positive neurons in the nodose ganglion. Conclusions The present results, associated with previous reports, suggest that the pathway of the vagal afferent conveying cardiac pain information which contains SP pass through the superior cervical ganglion.\;[
