Mouse vagal ganglion (IMAGE)
Caption
In the mouse vagal ganglion, sensory neurons labeled from the auricular skin (green) and the lung (magenta) are located in close proximity (white circles). These findings suggest a possible anatomical basis for how sensation from the auricular skin may influence airway immune responses via nerves that directly supply the lung.
