Summary
Electrical stimulation of side branches of Remak's nerve evoked a synaptically-mediated spike discharge at the oral end of the nerve which increased in amplitude in response to successive stimuli. The maximum amplitude of the synaptic component was attained at a frequency of about 3 Hz but was almost completely absent at 31 Hz.
