“…Studies using retrograde tracing carried out on various animal species lead to the determination of neurons projecting axons to the heart (the conduction system, cardiomyocytes, and coronary vessels) and thus the identification of their location [28,35,42,52,64]. In cats, most cardiac neurons were located in the stellate ganglion (2679 cells, on average) and in the ipsilateral ganglions of segments C8-T9 (213 cells, on average) [35].…”
