    • 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 ...
    • Petrosal ganglion responses to acetylcholine and ATP are enhanced bychronic normobaric hypoxia in the rabbit 
      Icekson, Gabriel; Dominguez, Claudia V.; Dedios, Valentina P.; Arroyo, Jorge; Alcayaga Urbina, Julio (Elsevier, 2013)
      tIn mammals, adaptation to chronic hypoxia requires the integrity of the arterial chemoreceptors, speciallythe carotid body (CB). Chronic hypoxia increases the sensibility of the CB by acting on the receptorcells, but there ...
    • Responses induced by acetylcholine and ATP in the rabbit petrosal ganglion 
      Soto, Carolina R.; Ortiz, Fernando C.; Vargas, Romina V.; Arroyo, Jorge; Alcayaga Urbina, Julio (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010-05-02)
      Acetylcholine and ATP appear to mediate excitatory transmission between receptor (glomus) cells and the petrosal ganglion (PG) neuron terminals in the carotid body. In most species these putative transmitters are excitatory, ...
