Investigation of spontaneous activity (mean amplitude of spikes 200–300 µV, frequency from 0.07 to 2.9 Hz) in the rabbit superior cervical sympathetic ganglion by the sucrose gap method showed that this activity was completely blocked by D-tubocurarine and hexamethonium; its frequency was increased in hypertonic solution, by an increase in the external potassium concentration, and by the addition of theophylline and ethanol. These observations suggest that the activity observed is due to spontaneous liberation of acetylcholine mediator from preganglionic nerve endings. However, addition of tetrodotoxin and an increase in the external calcium concentration to 10 mM block spontaneous activity in the ganglion. This suggests that the observed spontaneous activity consists of action potentials. |
