Abstract excerpt

The bladder and other pelvic viscera are innervated in the rat by the major pelvic ganglion (MPG), a mixed sympathetic/parasympathetic population of neurons that participates in lower urinary pathophysiology. Neurons from the MPG of adult females were removed, dissociated and cultured in order to...
