Selective Depressant Action

The depressant action of antidromic volleys of impulses on gustatory nerve signals from the tongues of bullfrogs was studied. Electrical stimulation of the glossopharyngeal nerve at a rate of 100 Hz for 10 s and at supramaximal intensity slightly depressed the integrated glossopharyngeal nerve responses to quinine and to mechanical taps to the tongue . The same antidromic stimuli resulted in a ...
