  1. Cells were counted bilaterally, in one section per segment (for example, IML C8 → T2 was counted on three sections). C, cervical, CAA, central autonomic area; Co, coccygeal; ICN, intercalated nucleus; IML, intermediolateral nucleus; L, lumbar; SPSy, sacral parasympathetic nucleus; T, thoracic; VH Lam VIII, ventral horn lamina VIII. “Other” category includes Glp1r+ Chat+ neurons in lumbar lamina VII (4 cells), the cervical lateral funiculus (2 cells), cervical laminae II–III (1 cell) and lumbar and sacral somatic motor neurons in lamina IX (2 cells).
