Adrenergic Neurons in Mammals with Special Reference to Fluorescence Microscopical Studies

  • Conference paper
Aspects of Neuroendocrinology

Abstract

Before the end of the 19th century it was proposed that two antagonistic systems, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic, were involved in mammalian autonomic nervous control (Gaskell, 1886). In the year of 1900 Langley (1900) was able to show that the autonomic nervous system was built up of 2 sets of neurons, one preganglionic and one postganglionic.

Some of the work described in this paper was supported by grants from the Swedish Medical Research Council (No: B69-14X-2207-03, B70-14X-2207-04), from Magnus Berg-wall’s Foundation, from Gustav and Majen Lindgren’s Foundation, and from Wilhelm and Martina Lundgren’s Foundation.
