Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the spinal afferent innervation of the heart, focusing on how sensory information from the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) regulates cardiac functions.
  • Researchers injected a tracer into the DRGs of male rats to map the distribution and morphology of spinal afferent axons in the heart, finding significant projections into the left and right atria.
  • The findings highlight the presence and branching patterns of axons in different heart tissue layers, providing a foundational understanding for future research on cardiac spinal innervation and its implications in heart disease.
