Abstract
The mechanisms of chemoception in the carotid body (CB) are poorly understood but are often linked with the release of presumptive transmitters. Hypoxia, a natural CB stimulus, causes dopamine (DA) release in the CB (Gomez-Nino et al., 1990). The relation between transmitter release and initiation or modification of signals to be carried on sensory axons constitutes a paradigm of contemporary carotid body research.
