EWcp is part of the central circuit that controls sympathetic-innervated targets. There are several possible pathways for the early infection of EWcp after PRV injection in organs/tissues: (1) via indirect multisynaptic pathway through brainstem presympathetic neurons; (2) via direct projections to interneurons in the spinal cord; or (3) via sparse direct projections to SPNs in the IML. Infection of EWcp neurons at later survival times might include multisynaptic pathways. Abbreviations: IN, interneuron; SPN, sympathetic preganglionic neuron. Coronal section templates were obtained from the rat brain atlas from Paxinos and Watson, 3rd ed. [115].
