2006, International Review of CytologyCitation Excerpt :Either hypogastric (lumbar) or pelvic (sacral) deafferentation causes rapid growth of axon collaterals from pelvic ganglion neurons (Fig. 4C) (Dail and Evan, 1978; Dail et al., 1997b; Keast, 2004; Kepper and Keast, 1998). Very few pelvic ganglion neurons project out along these nerves (Dail and Minorsky, 1986; Kepper and Keast, 2000), so the primary drive is likely to be the loss of spinal inputs (deafferentation). Axon collaterals grow in the pelvic ganglia within just a couple of days of nerve injury, irrespective of whether the hypogastric or pelvic nerves are cut and whether spinal nerves are cut or crushed.
