The afferent nervous supply to the thymus gland has been investigated by means of the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase. It has been shown that the thymus receives an afferent supply from the nodose ganglia of the vagus and from the dorsal root ganglia C1-C7. The afferent innervation of the right and left thymic lobes is bilaterally organized; the fibers of a small celled population of nodose ganglion neurons cross outside the thymus and those of a larger celled population cross within the thymus gland. The functional implications of these findings are discussed in the context of central nervous system-immune system interactions.
已通过辣根过氧化物酶的逆行运输对胸腺的传入神经供应进行了研究。结果表明，胸腺接受来自迷走神经结状神经节和颈1 - 颈7背根神经节的传入神经供应。左右胸腺叶的传入神经支配是双侧组织的；结状神经节神经元中小细胞群体的纤维在胸腺外交叉，而大细胞群体的纤维在胸腺内交叉。这些发现的功能意义在中枢神经系统与免疫系统相互作用的背景下进行了讨论。
