“…Since it has been demonstrated by using in vitro preparations that noradrenaline is able to reduce the release of vasoactive substances from mast cell cytoplasm (1,12,13), the results of our study would be indicative that the same occurs in vivo after increased noradrenaline outflow caused by electrical stimulation of the superior cervical ganglion (16,17).…”

“…In another 10 rats, anaesthetized as above, the right superior cervical ganglion was exposed. After the sympathetic trunk was cut cranially to the stellate ganglion, the superior cervical ganglion was isolated and stimulated continuously through a bipolar electrode placed on the body of the ganglion with 5-10 volts, 10-20 Hz, 2 mec square wave pulses for 3 min (16). The effectiveness of electrical stimulation of the superior cervical ganglion was confirmed by observing pupillary dilatation during experimental procedure.…”

“…After the sympathetic trunk was surgically exposed, the superior cervical ganglion was isolated and stimulated continuously (Kobayashi, 1977) via a bipolar electrode placed on the body of the ganglion with 5-10 volts, 10 -20 Hz, 2-msec-square wave pulses for 3 minutes. The effectiveness of electrical stimulation of the superior cervical ganglion was confirmed by observing pupillary dilatation during the experimental procedure.…”

The innervation of cranial and spinal dura mater in humans and rodents was studied by examining several dural zones (vascular, perivascular, intervascular) in different regions. Characterization and distribution of dural acetylcholinesterase-positive nerve fibers, catecholaminergic nerve fibers, and mast cells are analyzed and discussed. The results of chemical and surgical sympathectomy as well as the relationships between catecholaminergic nerve fibers and mast cells are studied. Our results are discussed in the light of possible implications in the physiopathology of dural algic syndromes including cephalalgia and spinal pain.

Adrenergic and cholinergic innervation of rat cerebral arteries

et al. 1981

A consecutive demonstration of both aminergic and cholinergic nerves of rat cerebral arteries was carried out on whole mount preparations. For demonstration of aminergic nerves the glyoxylic acid method was used, while for cholinergic nerves Karnovsky's technique was utilized consecutively. This procedure provided a highly sensitive and reproducible demonstration of the two systems on the same specimen. The results obtained were as follows: 1) Aminergic and cholinergic nerves were distributed densely in the proximal portions of the major cerebral arteries examined. They were dense in the arteries of the anterior circulation and sparse in the posterior circulation. Each nerve had two different patterns, i.e. circular and longitudinal. Both circular and longitudinal patterns were observed in the proximal portions of the arteries, while in the distal portions, longitudinal fibres were predominantly present. 2) Superior cervical ganglionectomy produced no change in cholinergic nerve distribution, while it caused decreased density of aminergic nerves on the ipsilateral side on the arteries of the anterior circulation. The contralateral anterior cerebral arteries were partially affected. Bilateral sympathectomies abolished aminergic nerves in all arteries except the vertebral artery.
