Furthermore, the TRPV1 channel is present in afferent elements of the baroreflex pathway; these channels are expressed in aortic baroreceptors,
nodose ganglion neurons and the nucleus of the solitary tract (30).

nodose, scapus and sometimes pedicellus armed with a tubercle.
(2004) Inhibition of c-Jun phosphorylation reduces axonal outgrowth of adult rat
nodose ganglia and dorsal root ganglia sensory neurons.
Monilethrix was first described by Walter Smith in 1879 who called it a rare
nodose condition of the hair' for which Radcliffe Crocker subsequently suggested the term monilethrix.2
Oraloesophageal inoculation of mice with herpes simplex virus type 1 causes latent infection of the vagal sensory ganglia (
nodose ganglia).
The cell bodies of vagal afferents are located in the
nodose ganglia [1, 2].
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the rat and primate nucleus tractus solitarius and on rat and human inferior vagal (
nodose) ganglia: evidence from in vivo microdialysis and [125I]alpha-bungarotoxin autoradiography.
They can bind to receptors located on the liver or spleen or the
nodose ganglion and trigger neural firing from these sites, which can then signal the CNS.33 They can also interact directly with BBB receptors to induce cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) inflammatory signalling within the brain parenchyma.34,35 There is also evidence that they are produced in CNS glial cells.36

Base rounded, sculptured with [+ or -] 6 spiral cords; cords somewhat weaker than those on apical surface, but similarly
