Here North American, European, and Australian contributors from a number of disciplines synthesize the current understanding of vagal afferent biology in a manner designed to be accessible to specialists in any of the disciplines that deal with it. They cover development and plasticity, vagal sensory ganglion neurons, vagal sensory nerve terminals, connections in the central nervous system, organ-specific afferent nerves, and vagal reflexes and sensation.
