“…Lasowsky () reported that neurons in human heart ganglia in adults (parasympathetic intramural ganglia of the vagus nerve) have a size between 32 and 40 μm. He observed an increase in the size of these neurons during age: 18–20 μm in newborns compared with 45–50 μm in elderly people.…”

Only a few papers exist dealing with the development and aging of the autonomic nervous systemand even rarer are studies that investigated the otic ganglion. Using a special trepan, we removed and investigated 172 samples from 86 corpses, ranging from 20 weeks of gestational age (GA) to 95 years of age. The aim of the study was to measure different morphometric parameters of the ganglionic neurons in order to study agerelated changes from early development until old age. Fetuses show the highest numerical density of neurons. Then, in the first years of life, a rapid growth of the cytoplasm takes place, which is the main reason for the neuronal growth and the increase of the general size of the otic ganglion at this age. Also, the number of satellite cells increases till puberty. In adults, the parameters are relatively stable over decades and decrease slowly, in contrast to the steep increase in the first years of life. Moreover, neuronal degeneration, storage of pigments, neuro-axonal dystrophy, and lymphocytic infiltrates increase with age.

The principal intrinsic ganglion sites in the human infant's heart have been described. They are arranged in six main groups. While most ganglia are associated with the atria, ventricular neurons have also been identified and their significance regarding possible ventricular parasympathetic innervation is discussed. The ganglia vary considerably in size, with most of the larger ones lying on the superior aspect of the heart near the superior vena cava, the aorta and pulmonary artery. They all possess well-defined capsules. Most of the contained neurons appear to be multipolar, but pseudounipolar and occasional bipolar forms have been detected. Two plexuses exist in the parietal pericardium. Large complicated nerve endings described by previous writers have not been identified, but free endings might exist. Networks in the subepicardium, subendocardium and associated with the coronary arteries have been demonstrated and their functional significance is discussed. Nerve endings, either simple or complicated, were not seen in relation to these plexuses in this investigation.
