    • ATP- and ACh-induced responses in isolated cat petrosal ganglion neurons 
      Alcayaga, Carmen; Varas, Rodrigo; Valdés, Viviana; Cerpa, Verónica; Arroyo, Jorge; Iturriaga, Rodrigo; Alcayaga Urbina, Julio (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2007-02)
      Chemoreceptor (glomus) cells of the carotid body are synaptically connected to the sensory nerve endings of petrosal ganglion (PG) neurons. In response to natural stimuli, the glomus cells release transmitters,which ...
    • Electrophysiological characterization of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in cat petrosal ganglion neurons ...
