Abstract:
A thorough understanding of the innervation pathways to the heart is requisite for studying the effects of the sympathetic nervous system. Knowledge of these pathways and how to selectively activate or eliminate them allows for the production of unique animal models for further investigation about the interaction between the cardiac sympathetics and the heart during ischemia.
