Enlarged Sections of LCM Lifted Intrinsic Cardiac Neurons from Six Different Levels in the Female Rat Heart B

(A) Section 95: Small ganglia located between the aorta, pulmonary artery, and left atrium; all neurons marked yellow.

(B) Section 159: neurons are lifted from a medium ganglia near the left atrium and are grouped in the Z1 molecular cluster; cells marked green.

(C) Section 167: Z1 neurons that are located around the left atrium and pulmonary artery; cells marked green.

(D) Section 199: LCM-sampled neurons that were characterized as the Z2 group were part of a small ganglia; cells marked blue.

(E) Section 215: Neurons were sampled from ganglia near the left atrium and right atrium.

(F) Section 223: LCM-sampled neurons from a large cluster near the left atrium.

(G) Section 275: LCM-sampled neurons around the left atrium. Scale bars: 100 μm. Red arrows mark the locations of relevant neurons.
