TL;DR: The existence of such an extensive projection system connecting these specific regions is significant evidence in support to its potential for participation in the amygdaloid expression of cardiovascular influences and has important implications for the cellular analysis of the functional role of these influences.

TL;DR: Comparative quantitative analysis of the number of PRV immunoreactive neurons present in the diencephalon and brain stem following injection of virus into both the eye and stomach musculature of the same animal demonstrated that retrograde transport ofPRV from the viscera was more efficient and occurred at a much faster rate than anterograde transport of virus.

TL;DR: The demonstration of a monosynaptic Gastric vagovagal circuit provides the anatomical substrate for the relay of gastric interoceptive information directly to gastric vagal motoneuronal dendrites, which may play a unique role in the central regulation of Gastric motility and secretion.

TL;DR: The in silico genetic regulatory network constructed was constructed and it was observed that, in addition to prior structural knowledge, prior knowledge of kinetic parameters, particularly mRNA degradation rate constants, was necessary for the network to be identifiable.

TL;DR: The central circuit innervating various regions of the rat heart using a neurotropic herpesvirus as a transneuronal tracer and location of viral antigens in the brain after cardiac injection of three strains of pseudorabies virus provided insight into vagal preganglionic neurons and their connected interneurons.
