Abstract
New evidence is presented that spike and transducer processes in sensory receptors are independent events; impulse activity in the crustacean stretch receptor neuron and the mammalian pacinian corpuscle was selectively blocked by a compound (tetrodotoxin) without affecting any of the parameters of the generator potential.Keywords
