Abstract

Microneurography in small animals has proven to be a fundamental tool to investigate novel concepts of immune modulation by the autonomic nervous system. Major discoveries in the field pushed toward new investigation in the cardiovascular pathophysiology, to explore the relations between immune organs such as the spleen and hypertension. Given the variety of nerves of interest a great effort has to be put in the standardization of technical, experimental setup and analysis procedures.

Keywords: Microneurography; Splenic Nerve Recording; Neuroimmune Modulation; Sympathetic Nerve Recording
