Extended Data Fig. 8

a, Vagal responses to intestinal water stimuli were abolished after HPA denervation using 85% phenol (Slc17a6-Cre;Ai96, n = 4 mice). b and c, Vagal response heatmaps to 500 mM NaCl or 300 mM glucose stimuli before and after HVx (b, n = 3 mice), or after injecting WGA 647 into the HPA (c, n = 3 mice). d, A minor population of intestine-innervating neurons (labeled by WGA 647) responded to intestinal acute water stimulus (Slc17a6-Cre;Ai96, n = 3 mice).
