Distribution of cell bodies for primary afferent fibers from the stomach of the cat.
The distribution of primary afferent cell bodies supplying the stomach of the cat was localized using lectin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase. Labelled cells were found in the nodose ganglia and dorsal root ganglia T4-L2 or T4-L1. The spinal entry levels of the stomach afferents do not overlap extensively with those of the cardiac afferents.
