Values are means ± SE. Average number (#) of neurons labeled with retrograde microsphere tracer (Tracer) injected into nucleus ambiguus, vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGLUT3), and/or γ-aminobutyric acid A (GABAA) receptors in the nucleus of tractus solitarius (NTS). Percentages of neurons (%) stained with tracer and labeled with VGLUT3 or GABAA relative to Tracer. Percentages of neurons (%) stained with tracer and labeled with VGLUT3 and GABAA relative to Tracer and VGLUT3.
