Distribution and morphology of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) innervation in flat mounts of whole rat atria and ventricles
The sensory (nociceptive) innervation of the whole rat heart (including the atria and ventricles) was immunohistochemically labeled for CGRP. Moreover, high-quality images of the whole tissue were acquired at the single-cell/axon/varicosity resolution.
