Abstract
The isolated rat’s superior cervical ganglion preparation has been shown to withstand cooling to –10° C for short periods with little damage, as judged by the size of the transmitted action potential. Cooling to –76° C invariably caused the abolition of all excitability. This could be prevented by pretreating with 15% v/v glycerol.Keywords
