Identification of peripheral neural circuits that regulate heart rate using optogenetic and viral vector strategies

The wiring of peripheral neural circuits that regulate heart rate is poorly understood. In this study, authors used tissue clearing for high-resolution characterization of nerves in the heart in 3D and transgenic and novel viral vector approaches to identify peripheral parasympathetic and sympatheti...
