Abstract
We studied the distribution of NADPH-d-reactive sympathetic preganglio nic neurons (SPNs) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunoreactive fibers at T1, T4, T8, and T10 of human thoracic cord. NADPH-d-reactive SPNs were present at all segments. TH-immunoreactive fibers were distribute d within the NADPH-d neuropil and appeared to contact SPNs. These inte ractions may be important for normal and pathological control of arter ial pressure.
