To determine a possible brainstem connection with the uterus, a study with electrophysiological techniques and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) tracing was performed in the rat. Neurons of the nucleus of the tractus solitarius decreased in discharge frequency during cervicovaginal distension. HRP injections into the uterine walls resulted in the appearance of labelled cells in the nodose ganglion and in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve. The results demonstrate a direct bidirectional vagal complex-uterus connection via the vagus nerve. Results are discussed in terms of a complex uterus control system in which the paraventricular nucleus might play an integrative role.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008526 Medulla Oblongata The lower portion of the BRAIN STEM. It is inferior to the PONS and anterior to the CEREBELLUM. Medulla oblongata serves as a relay station between the brain and the spinal cord, and contains centers for regulating respiratory, vasomotor, cardiac, and reflex activities.

D006735 Horseradish Peroxidase An enzyme isolated from horseradish which is able to act as an antigen. It is frequently used as a histochemical tracer for light and electron microscopy. Its antigenicity has permitted its use as a combined antigen and marker in experimental immunology.
