  • 144 Accesses

Abstract

The history of the study of ganglionic substances begins with the paper of Langley and Dickinson (1889), who established the ability of nicotine to block the neurones in the superior cervical ganglion. This was a considerable discovery as the authors ascertained that impulses were transmitted from pre- to postganglionic neurones in the autonomic ganglia. Simultaneously they indicated the possibility of pharmacological influence upon interneuronal transmission in autonomic ganglia. The idea of ganglionic receptors specificallv sensitive to nicotine followed losicallv.
