Characterization of viscerofugal neurons in human colon by retrograde tracing and multi-layer immunohistochemistry

Background and AimsViscerofugal neurons (VFNs) have cell bodies in the myenteric plexus and axons that project to sympathetic prevertebral ganglia. In animals they activate sympathetic motility reflexes and may modulate glucose metabolism and feeding. We used rapid retrograde tracing from colonic ne...
