title: Evidence for a sympathetic component in motor branches of the facial nerve: a horseradish peroxidase study in the cat.
abstract: The retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used to examine the location of sympathetic ganglion cells with axons in facial motor branches of the cat. Large numbers of HRP-labeled neurons were observed in the rostro-anterior part of the superior cervical ganglion. In addition, some labeled neurons were found in the cervical sympathetic trunk, the accessory cervical, middle cervical and stellate ganglia.
