Changes in the intracellular calcium concentration upon activation of rat superior cervical ganglion neurons

  • Published:
Neurophysiology Aims and scope

Abstract

Changes in the intracellular calcium concentration induced by activation of neurons of the isolated intact rat superior cervical ganglion were recorded. It is concluded that stimulation within the physiological range of frequencies can effectively increase the intracellular calcium concentration in these neurons.
