Supplement The coeliac ganglion pertains to any of the two large clusters of nerve fibers located on the superior portion of the abdominal aorta, close to where the coeliac artery emerges from the aorta. Prevertebral ganglia are closely associated with the major ventral branches of the aorta. Hence, these ganglia are usually found near the origin of celiac artery (as celiac ganglion), and of the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries (as superior and inferior mesenteric ganglia, respectively). They contain neurons with postganglionic axons innervating the stomach, the gallbladder, the liver, the spleen, the small intestine, parts of colon, and the kidney. These ganglia are part of the sympathetic subdivision of the autonomic nervous system. They are regarded as the largest ganglia in the autonomic nervous system. They are thin, crescent-shaped sensory root ganglia of the trigeminal nerve. ...

Purpose : Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is a main cause of irreversible blindness. AMD is classified in two forms: wet or neovascular, and dry or geographic atrophy (GA). GA is characterized by hypopigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor (FR) loss in a localized area of the retina. Alterations in choroid blood flow have been related in the pathogenesis of GA. Sympathetic terminals from the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion (SCG) innervate choroid vessels and modulate their flux. Superior cervical gangliectomy (SCGx) induces complete and irreversible ipsilateral choroid denervation. The aim of this work was to analyze the effect of SCGx on the retina/RPE in mice. Methods : Unilateral SCGx was induced in adult male C57BL/6J mice, while the contralateral side was submitted to a sham procedure, without excision of SCG (control). At 4, 6, and 10 weeks after SCGx, retinal function (electroretinography, ERG), RPE melanin content (histology), all-trans ...

Colchicine (5 mg/kg body wt., i.p. injection) was employed as an axonal transport blocker to intensify the immunoreactivity in the nerve cell bodies. In the lumbar paravertebral ganglia of the colchicine-treated rats, about 55% of nerve cell bodies showed a positive immunoreactivity. In the celiac-superior mesenteric ganglion complex, a dense network of positively immunostained nerve fiber ...

The macro- and microstructures of the rabbit celiac-mesenteric ganglion complex are described in 20 young animals. We found ten celiac ganglia, twenty-seven cranial mesenteric ganglia and eleven celiac-mesenteric ganglia. The celiac ganglia had a rectangular shape in nine cases (90%) and a circular one in one case (10%). The cranial mesenteric ganglia presented triangular (66.7%), rectangular (11.1%), L-shape (18.5%) and semi-lunar (3.7%) arrangements. The celiac-mesenteric ganglia were organized in three patterns: a single left celiac-mesenteric ganglion having a caudal portion (72.7%); celiac-mesenteric ganglia without a caudal portion (18.2%) and a single celiac-mesenteric ganglion with two portions: left and right (9.1%). The microstructure was investigated in nine celiac-mesenteric ganglia. The results showed that the celiac-mesenteric ganglion is actually a ganglion complex constituted of an agglomerate of ganglionic units separated by nerve fibers, capillaries and septa of connective ...

Neurofibres Autonomes Préganglionnaires 0 questions Nerve fibers which project from the central nervous system to autonomic ganglia. In the sympathetic division most preganglionic fibers originate with neurons in the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord, exit via ventral roots from upper thoracic through lower lumbar segments, and project to the paravertebral ganglia; there they either terminate in synapses or continue through the splanchnic nerves to the prevertebral ganglia. In the parasympathetic division the fibers originate in neurons of the brain stem and sacral spinal cord. In both divisions the principal transmitter is acetylcholine but peptide cotransmitters may also be released. ...

The permanent vasodilator effect following resection of sympathetic ganglia and trunks, with its subsequent physiologic changes, has stimulated us to find numerous clinical applications of the procedure. Naturally any disease that arises either directly or indirectly from impaired circulation must be considered. The results obtained by interrupting the vasoconstrictor fibers of the peripheral arteries are determined by the dilatation of the arteries and arterioles affected by the operative procedure. Therefore, it is extremely important to select patients who have nonocclusive lesions of the arteries, and who have vasomotor spasm of the arteries which has resulted in impairment of the circulation. ...

This study reveals a novel ENS-derived mechanism by which sympathetic gut reflexes are activated. In this mechanism, the rhythmic ENS-generated firing pattern that underlies CMCs and drives characteristic rhythmic electrical activity in smooth muscle (Spencer et al., 2018) is also transmitted to prevertebral ganglia by viscerofugal neurons. Thus, sympathetic reflexes accompany CMC generation. Reflex activation did not require muscle contraction or dynamic changes in gut wall circumference. Importantly, the ∼2-Hz burst firing pattern underlying CMCs coordinated firing of multiple viscerofugal neurons, causing activation of sympathetic neurons with a similar 2-Hz firing pattern, even without central preganglionic input. Viscerofugal neurons predominantly supply subthreshold synaptic inputs to sympathetic neurons. Thus, the synchronizing mechanism provided by the ENS that enables assemblies of viscerofugal neurons to fire concurrently may be critical for their ability to evoke parallel firing in ...

Purpose: : Long thin sympathetic axons transport tissue plasminogen activator(t-PA) to the eye. There it is released in response to adrenergic stimulations. The t-PA is synthesized and packaged in transport vesicles in superior cervical sympathetic ganglion neuron cell bodies(1) .Plasmin activated by t-PA has long been thought to accelerate the trabecular outflow of aqueous humor. Our purpose here is to map the neural crest origins of cells able to produce t-PA within the eye. Methods: : A promoter mouse line- whose human t-PA Cre transgene is specifically expressed by sympathetic nerves and all other crest derivatives(2)- was crossed with a Lac Z reporter expressing the enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP) transgene. PCR sorted pups showed both t-PA promoter and EGFP expressions confined within crest-derived cells. Cryosections were viewed by confocal and UV microscopy ,and immunostained for t-PA antigen.Cultured human uveal melanocytes were stimlated with phenylephrine to confirm a t-PA ...

The sympathetic cell bodies projecting to the SPG originate in the upper thoracic spinal cord (T1-T2). The preganglionic sympathetic neurons then synapse in the cervical sympathetic ganglia, mainly the superior cervical ganglion. The postganglionic second-order sympathetic neurons form the carotid sympathetic plexus and reach the pterygoid canal through the deep petrosal nerve where it joins the first-order parasympathetic neurons in the greater petrosal nerve, forming the nerve to the pterygoid canal (vidian nerve). Postganglionic sympathetic fibers pass through the SPG without synapsing and innervate mainly the blood vessels. ...

Neural crest cells are the embryonic progenitors of several adult cell types, including some neurons that contain the neuroactive peptide somatostatin. To begin to understand the control of peptide expression during neuronal ontogeny, we have investigated the development of somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SLI) in embryonic quail paravertebral sympathetic ganglia in vivo. SLI was identified by immunohistochemistry in paraformaldehyde-fixed cryostat sections from the trunk region of quail embryos. SLI was first observed in the cells of the primary sympathetic trunks at stage 18 (Zacchei, A.M. (1961) Arch. Ital. Anat. Embriol. 66:36-62), which corresponds to embryonic day 4 (E4). The primary sympathetic trunks are the sites of the initial aggregation of neural crest cells to form the sympathetic ganglia. The SLI in these cells was located in the cytoplasm and was absent from the nucleus. SLI persisted in subsequent developmental stages as formation of the definitive sympathetic ganglia ...

a. Sympathetic ganglia are located in two locations: in a connected chain of ganglia lateral to the vertebral column - called the sympathetic chain ganglia (also called paravertebral ganglia), and in a group of ganglia located on the anterior surface of three major abdominal blood vessels (aorta, superior mesenteric, and inferior mesenteric arteries), called the collateral ganglia. The ganglion on the aorta is called the celiac ganglion. Those on the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries are logically called superior and inferior mesenteric ganglia. Preganglionic sympathetic fibers originate from lateral horns of gray matter in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord. Their axons travel to and synapse with postganglionic fibers in either the paravertebral or collateral ganglia ...

Small numbers of postganglionic cells persist in sympathetic ganglia after the treatment of newborn animals with the nerve growth factor antiserum. In the present study the possibiity was explored whether the cells which survive the immunosympathectomy may be predominantly those which have been designated, in the cat, as cholinergic sympathetic cells. The acetylcholinesterase activity of sympathetic ganglia (superior cervical, stellate, thoracic chain, superior mesenteric, celiac and cardiac) from immunosympathectomized and control rats was visualized by the histochemical method of Koelle. As in the cat, the sympathetic ganglia of rats contain postganglionic cell bodies with either marked, moderate or slight acetylcholinestrase activity. Contrary to cat sympathetic ganglia, the cells with marked and moderate acetylcholinesterase activity predominate in the sympathetic ganglia of control rats. In the various sympathetic ganglia studied in this investigation, cells with slight acetylcholinesterase ...

Barré-Liéou syndrome, or posterior cervical sympathetic syndrome, has symptomatology related to underlying cervical instability. While classified as a rare disease, Barré-Liéou syndrome is likely underdiagnosed. Vertebral instability, occurring after neck ligament injury, affects the function of cervical sympathetic ganglia (located anterior to vertebral bodies). Symptomatology includes neck pain, migraines/headache, vertigo, tinnitus, dizziness, visual/auditory disturbances, and other symptoms of the head/neck region. Treatment for Barré-Liéou syndrome is suboptimal and often involves long-term use of pain medications, chiropractic care, or surgical fusion. Prolotherapy offers a noninvasive treatment option to ameliorate symptoms while treating the underlying cause of the disorder-cervical instability. In this case series, the results of eight patients from 2011 to 2013 who received prolotherapy for Barré-Liéou syndrome following longstanding symptoms after trauma are reported. All patients

Bullfrog ganglia contain two classes of neurone, B and C cells, which receive different inputs and exhibit different slow synaptic potentials. B cells, to which most effort has been directed, possess slow and late slow EPSPs. The sEPSP reflects a muscarinic action of acetylcholine released from boutons on B cells, whereas the late sEPSP is caused by a peptide (similar to teleost LHRH) released from boutons on C cells. During either sEPSP there is a selective reduction in two slow potassium conductances, designated M and AHP. The M conductance is voltage dependent and the AHP conductance is calcium dependent. Normally they act synergistically to prevent repetitive firing of action potentials during maintained stimuli. Computer stimulation of the interactions of these conductances with the other five voltage-dependent conductances present in the membrane allows a complete reconstruction of the effects of slow synaptic transmission on electrical behaviour. ...

Although presynaptic input can influence the number and distribution of ACh receptors (AChRs) on muscle, the role of cellular interactions in the development of transmitter sensitivity in neurons is less clear. To determine whether presynaptic input modifies neuronal AChR channel function and distribution, we must first ascertain the profile of changes in receptor properties relative to the timing of synapse formation. We have examined the temporal aspects of synaptogenesis in the lumbar sympathetic ganglia of the embryonic chick in anatomical experiments with anterograde 1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′- tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate labeling of presynaptic inputs and cytochrome oxidase histochemistry. Biophysical studies of sympathetic neurons, within hours of removal from animals at different stages relative to synapse formation, show that both the properties and distribution of AChR channels are modified concurrent with a significant increase in presynaptic input to the neurons. ...

Neurons of the sympathetic chain belong to the second order neurons in the efferent pathway of the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system. These are derived from the multipotent neural crest cells. (Yntemma and Hammond, 1947; Weston, 1970; Anderson; 1989; Stemple and Anderson, 1992). These cells migrate ventrally beside the cranial half of the sclerotome, where it forms the dorsal root ganglion (Leikola 1976) and migrate further ventralward to form sympathetic chain ganglia (Goldstein and Kalcheim, 1991). The migration of the neural crest cells to form sympathetic chain is controlled by the expression of Hox-C genes (Breier et al, 1988).. Formation of sympathetic chain is noted around 9mm stage of the human embryo (Keibel and Mall, 1912). Neurons to the human sympathetic chian are contributed by the ventrimedial aspect of the dorsal root ganglion (Keibel and Mall, 1912; Mitchell, 1953) and are also derived from the ventral aspect of the neural tube which pass along the ventral nerve ...

The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) on cerebral blood flow were evaluated in unanesthetized goats under normal conditions and after selective blockade of 5-HT receptors or impairment of the sympathetic activity present in cerebral vessels. Small doses of 5-HT (0.1-9 micrograms) injected directly into the internal maxillary artery produced dose-dependent reductions in cerebral blood flow, a decrease of 49.8 +/- 2.5% (S.E.M.) occurring with the highest dose. Slow i.v. infusion of lysergic acid diethylamide (0.2-0.4 micrograms/kg/min), methysergide or cyproheptadine (2-5 micrograms/kg/min) partially abolished the cerebral vasoconstriction produced by 5-HT. Both phentolamine and reserpine also diminished the vasoconstriction induced by 5-HT. Goats in which the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion had been removed 7 to 20 days before the experiment showed a significant decrease in the cerebral vasoconstriction elicited by 5-HT. These results indicate that 5-HT produces marked ...

According to Amalu, hyperafferancy plays a significant role in neuronal hibernation, whereby hyperafferant activation of the central regulating center for sympathetic function can cause differing levels of cerebral ischemia. He postulates that hyperafferant activation via the superior cervical sympathetic ganglia may also cause higher-center ischemia. In light of Kents Dysafferentation Model of vertebral subluxation, we see the significance of Amalus theory. The Dyafferentation Model describes those situations in which biomechanical dysfunction results in alteration in normal nociception and/or mechaninoreception. This is clearly evident as the intervertebral motion segment is especially endowed by nociceptive and mechanoreceptive structures. As Kent describes, To use the contemporary jargon of the computer industry, garbage in - garbage out. Subsequently, abnormal afferent input to the CNS will lead to a plethora of efferent pathologies. Thus, when a chiropractor adjusts your spine and ...

Respiratory distress is a very common problem in newborns. It can be due to several causes, notably pneumonia, sepsis, heart disease, congenital anomalies of the respiratory tract, and so on. GNB is a rare tumor in the newborn period. Rarer still is GNB presenting with respiratory distress. Most cases present before 10 years of age. After a literature search, we could find only one case which had presented at birth and another case at 13 days of life [2]. GNB arises from the sympathetic chain; anywhere from the adrenal medulla to the paravertebral sympathetic ganglia. The most common sites of origin are adrenal medulla (35%), extra-adrenal retroperitoneum (30-35%) and posterior mediastinum (20%) [3]. In 1981, Adam et al. reported a series of 80 cases all of which arose from the posterior mediastinum [2]. Rarely, they can be found in other sites, for example, neck, pelvis, lungs, nervous system and so on [3-8]. The mode of presentation depends on the area of involvement; they may present with ...

The greater splanchnic nerves are paired structures formed from preganglionic sympathetic nerve fibres which pass without synapsing through the paravertebral ganglia of segments five to nine on either side of the spinal column. The fibres from the ganglia converge to form a nerve which runs inferiorly through the thorax within the posterior mediastinum. It is closely apposed to the vertebral bodies of the spinal column. On the left, it is slightly lateral to the azygous vein. On the right, it is lateraly to the hemiazygous system and the aorta.. The greater splanchnic nerves pierce the diaphragmatic crura on both sides at the level of L1. Then, the fibres pass to onto the surface of the aorta where they synapse with postganglionic fibres within the coeliac ganglia.. Last reviewed 01/2018 ...

Nav1.7 is a sodium ion channel that in humans is encoded by the SCN9A gene. It is usually expressed at high levels in two types of neurons: the nociceptive (pain) neurons at dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and trigeminal ganglion and sympathetic ganglion neurons, which are part of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. Nav1.7 is a voltage-gated sodium channel and plays a critical role in the generation and conduction of action potentials and is thus important for electrical signaling by most excitable cells. Nav1.7 is present at the endings of pain-sensing nerves, the nociceptors, close to the region where the impulse is initiated. Stimulation of the nociceptor nerve endings produces generator potentials, which are small changes in the voltage across the neuronal membranes. The Nav1.7 channel amplifies these membrane depolarizations, and when the membrane potential difference reaches a specific threshold, the neuron fires. In sensory neurons, multiple voltage-dependent sodium currents can be ...

Sympathetic ganglia are composed of noradrenergic and cholinergic neurons. The differentiation of cholinergic sympathetic neurons is characterized by the expression of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), induced in vitro by a subfamily of cytokines, including LIF, CNTF, GPA, OSM and cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1). To interfere with the function of these neuropoietic cytokines in vivo, antisense RNA for gp130, the common signal-transducing receptor subunit for neuropoietic cytokines, was expressed in chick sympathetic neurons, using retroviral vectors. A strong reduction in the number of VIP-expressing cells, but not of cells expressing ChAT or the adrenergic marker tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), was observed. These results reveal a physiological role of neuropoietic cytokines for the control of VIP expression during the development of cholinergic sympathetic neurons.. ...

The transgenic strategy applied in the current study may have several limitations. Expression of the Dbh-transgene may not be restricted to adrenergic cells (Mercer et al., 1991; Hoyle et al., 1994). However, mRNA expression of the Dbh-α2A-transgene was 26- to 169-fold lower in nonadrenergic regions of the CNS than in adrenergic nuclei, including locus ceruleus or sympathetic ganglia (Fig. 1d). Misexpression of α2A-receptors under the control of the Dbh promoter used for the present study may lead to false-positive assignments of α2-functions as autoreceptor (i.e., receptors in adrenergic cells). Furthermore, higher-than-physiological levels of α2A-receptor expression may result in a gain of function that is not achieved by endogenously expressed receptors. Indeed, we observed that transgenic α2A-receptors compensated for the loss of both α2A and α2C in sympathetic ganglia (Fig. 4b). Finally, α2A-adrenoceptors expressed under control of the Dbh promoter may alter their expression pattern ...
