New data were obtained on modification of heterochromatin parameters in the nuclei of medulla oblongata neurons in Wistar rats after stimulation of the vagus nerve: decrease in the area of heterochromatin regions and redistribution of chromocenters within the neuronal nuclear system. It was concluded that realization of the viscero-visceral reflex is associated with rearrangement of chromatin in neurons involved in transmission of the corresponding information.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
