Using the retrograde neuronal tracers Fast blue and Fluorogold, the topographical distribution and morphological features of porcine colonic neurons projecting to the cranial (superior) mesenteric ganglion have been investigated. Two to four weeks after injection of the tracer into the cranial mesenteric ganglion of immature pigs, labelled neurons were found throughout the colon. In the myenteric and outer submucous plexuses, they were present in ganglia situated to the side of the mesenteric attachment. The highest density of labelled neurons was observed at the end of the ascending colon, which in the pig represents 78-80% of the total colon length. The viscerofugal neurons had a multidendritic appearance and part of them were immunoreactive for calcitonin gene-related peptide or serotonin. This study has revealed similarities but also significant differences in the colono-sympathico-colonic pathways between the pig and small laboratory animals such as the guinea-pig.
