adult recurrent nerve [FBbt_00100332]
The adult recurrent nerve runs from the frontal ganglion posteriorly along the esophagus and foregut (Ito et al., 2014). It contains fibers of the enteric nervous system (Ito et al., 2014). It does not connect to the brain (Ito et al., 2014).

The adult recurrent nerve runs from the frontal ganglion posteriorly along the esophagus and foregut (Ito et al., 2014). It contains fibers of the enteric nervous system (Ito et al., 2014). It does not connect to the brain (Ito et al., 2014).
Rajashekhar and Singh (1994) consider the recurrent nerve to consist of the nerve tract extending from the frontal ganglion only to the point where the pharyngeal nerve and stomodeal nerve separate, whilst Ito et al. (2014) appear to consider the adult recurrent nerve as extending from the frontal ganglion to the foregut. We adopt the latter definition.
