Abstract
In cats under anesthesia with Nembutal, stimulation of the postganglionic fibers for a period of 3 to 60 min. at frequencies varying from 30 to 200 per sec. is not followed by a decrease of acetylcholine in the cholinergic fibers or adrenaline in the adrenergic fibers. This observation is related to the lack of synaptic fatigue during stimulation of these fibers.Keywords
