Disease relevance of Parasympathetic Fibers, Postganglionic

Recently, the origins and pathways of cerebrovascular acetylcholine- and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-containing nerves have been elucidated in detail in the rat: The sphenopalatine ganglion is the major source for postganglionic parasympathetic fibers to the vascular beds of the cerebral hemispheres [1].

High impact information on Parasympathetic Fibers, Postganglionic

The fact that DSCG inhibits contractions induced by electrical stimulation in both, guinea pig ileum and trachea as well as atropine does, constitute evidence that either an inhibition of acetylcholine release from postganglionic parasympathetic fibers or an anticholinergic effect is involved in the mode of action of DSCG [2].
