It is known that the vagus nerve contains catecholaminergic fibers. However, the origin of
these fibers has not been systematically examined. In this study, we addressed this issue
using retrograde tracing from the subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve combined with
immunocytochemistry. The cervical and thoracic sympathetic trunk ganglia, the nodose
ganglia and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve were examined following injection
of Fluoro-Gold or cholera toxin horseradish peroxidase conjugate into the trunks of the …
