Figure 6: The diagram shows the neural pathways connecting in a dual way, the vagus nerve with the right and left celiac-superior mesenteric ganglia (CSMG). The CSMG connects also in a dual way with the ovaries through the right and left superior ovarian nerve (SON) and the ovarian plexus nerve (OPN). Their endings arrive to the blood vessels, the interstitial gland and near the follicles. On the wall of the capillaries, there are located sensorial neurons, which act as chemical sensors registering changes in the amounts of chemicals signals arising from the growing and maturating follicles. The vagus nerve carries neural information originated in the ovarian ganglia to the left and right central nervous system (CNS), which in turn have neural communication between them. The left ovary sends a higher amount of neural information to the CNS than the right ovary.
