Electrical Properties of the Pacemaker Neurons in the Heart Ganglion of a Stomatopod, Squilla oratoria
In the Squilla heart ganglion, the pacemaker is located in the rostral group of cells. After spontaneous firing ceased, the electrophysiological properties of these cells were examined with intracellular electrodes. Cells respond to electrical stimuli with all-or-none action potentials. Direct stimulation by strong currents decreases the size of action potentials. Comparison with action potenti...
متن کاملInhibitory Synapses on Pacemaker Neurons in the Heart Ganglion of a Stomatopod, Squilla oratoria
The pacemaker neurons of the Squilla heart ganglion are innervated from the CNS through three pairs of extrinsic nerves. One of them, the alpha-nerve, is inhibitory to the heart beat. The effect of alpha-nerve stimulation on the pacemaker potential was examined with intracellular electrodes. Without extrinsic nerve stimulation the membrane potential of the pacemaker cell fluctuated spontaneousl...
متن کاملAcceleratory Synapses on Pacemaker Neurons in the Heart Ganglion of a Stomatopod, Squilla oratoria
The pacemaker neurons of the heart ganglion are innervated from the CNS through two pairs of acceleratory nerves. The effect of acceleratory nerve stimulation was examined with intracellular electrodes from the pacemaker cells. The major effects on the pacemaker potential were an increase in the rate of rise of the spontaneous depolarization and in the duration of the plateau. The aftereffect o...
متن کاملPacemaker Potentials for the Periodic Burst Discharge in the Heart Ganglion of a Stomatopod, Squilla oratoria
From somata of the pacemaker neurons in the Squilla heart ganglion, pacemaker potentials for the spontaneous periodic burst discharge are recorded with intracellular electrodes. The electrical activity is composed of slow potentials and superimposed spikes, and is divided into four types, which are: (a) "mammalian heart" type, (b) "slow generator" type, (c) "slow grower" type, and (d) "slow def...
متن کاملThe Spread of Excitation among Neurons in the Heart Ganglion of the Stomatopod, Squilla oratoria
Neurons in the heart ganglion of the mantis shrimp (a stomatopod crustacean) are functionally tightly linked together. The extracellular action potential from the whole trunk very often shows a complex form, but the response is all-or-none to the applied stimulus, indicating that the excitation in one neuron spreads very rapidly to all others. Application of isotonic MgCl(2) solution or repetit...
