Abstract:Background
The sympathetic nervous system exerts closed‐loop hierarchical control of cardiac function partially through peripheral sympathetic ganglia (PSGs). To what extent PSGs possess network processing capabilities useful for local cardiopulmonary integration outside the central nervous system is unknown.
Methods
To understand whether neurons within PSGs process cardiopulmonary inputs, and to gain insights into the modes and properties of such transduction, we performed extracellular recordings (via a line… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
