Extended Data Fig. 11: Schematics of ABC sensor and ABC effector.
From: Neuroimmune cardiovascular interfaces control atherosclerosis
a, Adventitia NICIs initiate the ABC using sensory neurons of DRGs to enter the CNS via the spinal cord dorsal horn and—from there—projects to the brain stem medulla oblongata. b, SNS efferents project from hypothalamic and brainstem nuclei to the spinal cord and—from there—to the adventitia via the CG, while vagal efferents originating in the medulla oblongata project to the CG—after traversing the NG in the neck—to create an ABC effector.
