Subdiaphragmatic vagotomy triggers transient withdrawal of central vagal afferent fibers in the DVC. A–D: Representative fluorescent images of coronal sections through the dorsal vagal complex showing distribution of vagal afferent fibers anterogradely labeled with BDA injected into the left NG in control rat (A), and 10 days (B), 30 days (C), and 60 days (D) post vagotomy. Abbreviations: AP, area postrema; DMN, dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus; NTS, nucleus of the solitary tract; ST, solitary tract. Scale bar = 500 μm in D (applies to A–D).
