Notes for the graphics build
- The enteric-vagal route schematic uses dashed arrows labeled "proposed transfer — not proven," matching the review's framing of the gut-first route as a proposal rather than an established step.
- The Fneur-10-00574-g001.jpg figure is a published review diagram (schematic), not a micrograph; it is presented in a panel that also carries the "Schematic"-style attribution line, and real-data micrographs dominate the graphics.
