Topographic representation of visceral target organs within the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve of the pigeon Columba livia

Topographic representation of visceral target organs within the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus... Our previous work (Katz and Karten, '83a J. Comp. Neurol. 217:31–46) demonstrated that the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve (DMN complex) in the pigeon is composed of cytoarchitecturally distinct subnuclei that are distinguished by the size, shape, position, and cytochemical characteristics of their constituent neurons. In view of the diversity of target organs innervated by the vagus nerve, we sought to determine whether the subnuclear heterogeneity of the DMN complex is related to the pattern of target innervation. To test this possibility, retrograde tracing techniques were used to define the subnuclear localization of vagal motoneurons that innervate individual vagal target organs. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The Journal of Comparative Neurology Wiley

Abstract

Our previous work (Katz and Karten, '83a J. Comp. Neurol. 217:31–46) demonstrated that the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve (DMN complex) in the pigeon is composed of cytoarchitecturally distinct subnuclei that are distinguished by the size, shape, position, and cytochemical characteristics of their constituent neurons. In view of the diversity of target organs innervated by the vagus nerve, we sought to determine whether the subnuclear heterogeneity of the DMN complex is related to the pattern of target innervation. To test this possibility, retrograde tracing techniques were used to define the subnuclear localization of vagal motoneurons that innervate individual vagal target organs.
