The localization of preganglionic neurons forming, connections with the stellate ganglion was studied using a method based on retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase in cats during postnatal ontogenesis from birth to six months of life. The number of preganglionic neurons and spinal cord segments connected to the ganglion increased from birth to 10 days of age, and then decreased. The proportion of preganglionic neurons in different spinal cord nuclei changed during life and became comparable with that in adults by age six months. This was accompanied by an increase in the proportion of cells in the nucleus intermediolateralis thoracolumbaris pars principalis, with a decrease in the number of neurons in the nucleus intermediolateralis thoracolumbaris parts funicularis and in the ventral horns of the spinal cord.
利用基于辣根过氧化物酶逆行轴突运输的方法，对出生至6个月大的幼猫在出生后个体发育过程中与星状神经节形成连接的节前神经元的定位进行了研究。与该神经节相连的节前神经元数量和脊髓节段从出生到10日龄增加，然后减少。不同脊髓核中节前神经元的比例在生命过程中发生变化，到6个月大时与成年动物相当。这伴随着胸腰段中间外侧核主部细胞比例的增加，胸腰段中间外侧核索状部和脊髓腹角神经元数量的减少。
