Urothelial bladder afferents selectively project to L6/S1 levels and are more peptidergic than those projecting to the T13/L1 levels in female rats
This neuroanatomical study in four, adult, Sprague-Dawley female rats quantified the number Oven Thermocouple of Urothelial (labeled by intravesical DiI dye administration) and Non-Urothelial (labeled by intraparenchymal injection of Fast blue dye) bladder primary afferent neurons (bPANs) located in the T13, L1, L6 and S1 dorsal root ganglia.Additi
