Abstract
Using cultures of dissociated neurons from the lower brain stem of rat embryos, the receptor properties of cholinoceptive neurons were examined pharmacologically [d-tubocurarine, atropine, hexamethonium]. Of 89 neurons, 41 showed facilitation of unit discharges by the application of acetylcholine. These cholinoceptive neurons had both nicotinic and muscarinic properties.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
