Abstract
Ganglionic responses to electrical stimulation, acetylcholine, and potassium ions were studied in superior cervical ganglia of. cats perfused with media containing lithium chloride instead of sodium chloride. In lithium-Locke, ganglionic transmission and depolarization evoked by acetylcholine were blocked completely but reversibly, while the depolarization produced by potassium ions was unaltered.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
