Axonal Injury Induces ATF3 in Specific Populations of Sacral Preganglionic Neurons in Male Rats

Compared to other neurons of the central nervous system, autonomic preganglionic neurons are unusual because most of their axon lies in the periphery. These axons are vulnerable to injury during surgical procedures, yet in comparison to peripheral neurons and somatic motor neurons, the impact of inj...
