Immunohistochemical characterization of the intrinsic cardiac neural plexus in whole-mount mouse heart preparations
Kristina Rysevaite,Inga Saburkina,Neringa Pauziene,Raimundas Vaitkevičius,Sami F. Noujaim,José Jalife,Dainius H. Pauza +6 more
TL;DR: Although some nerves and neuronal bundles of the mouse epicardial plexus are mixed, most express either adrenergic or cholinergic markers, and selective stimulation and/or ablation of the functionally distinct intrinsic neural pathways should allow the study of specific effects on cardiac function.

TL;DR: It is shown that a mobile endocytic network connects clathrin-independent receptor endocytosis to recycling which is required for T cell activation, and that flotillins are essential for Tcell activation, supporting TCR nanoscale organization and signaling.

TL;DR: A clearing-imaging-analysis pipeline is developed to visualize innervation of intact hearts in 3D and a multi-technique approach is employed to map parasympathetic and sympathetic neural circuits that control heart rate in mice to provide new insights into neural regulation of heart rate.

TL;DR: It is shown that cardiac cholinergic neurons modulate ventricular electrophysiology and have an influence on the regulation of ventricular function and arrhythmogenesis.

Mechanisms underlying the autonomic modulation of ventricular fibrillation initiation—tentative prophylactic properties of vagus nerve stimulation on malignant arrhythmias in heart failure
TL;DR: There is a significant body of evidence from experimental and clinical studies, demonstrating that the vagus nerve has an anti-arrhythmic action, protecting against induced and spontaneously occurring ventricular arrhythmias.
Cholinergic Activity as a New Target in Diseases of the Heart
TL;DR: Recent studies that implicate ACh as a major regulator of cardiac remodeling are discussed and support for the notion that enhancing cholinergic signaling in human patients with cardiac disease can reduce morbidity and mortality is provided.

Human monocytes and macrophages express substance P and neurokinin-1 receptor.
TL;DR: The demonstration that human monocytes and macrophages express substance P and its receptor support the notion that substance P is biologically involved in regulating the functions of these cells in an autocrine fashion.

TL;DR: The GP function as the "integration centers" that modulate the autonomic interactions between the extrinsic and intrinsic cardiac ANS, and this interaction is substantially more intricate than previously thought.

Primary sensory neurones: Neurofilament, neuropeptides and conduction velocity
TL;DR: New data is provided on the relationship of the peptide content in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons to a) the neurofilament content of the soma and b) the conduction velocities of the fibres to make predictions about their conduction velocity ranges.

The extent of the specialized atrioventricular ring tissues
TL;DR: A ring with morphologic features justifying a definition of specialized conduction tissue surrounds the atrioventricular junctions, although its function has yet to be established.

Immunohistochemical analysis of intracardiac ganglia of the rat heart.
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate a moderate level of chemical diversity within the intracardiac neurons of the rat, which may reflect functional specialisation of neurons in the intrACardiac ganglia.
