On the number of preganglionic neurones driving human postganglionic sympathetic neurones: a comparison of modelling and empirical data
Postganglionic sympathetic axons in awake healthy human subjects, regardless of their identity as muscle vasoconstrictor, cutaneous vasoconstrictor or sudomotor neurones, discharge with a low firing probability (~30%), generate low firing rates (~0.5 Hz) and typically fire only once per cardiac inte...
