Nicotine activation of neuronal nitric oxide synthase and guanylyl cyclase in the medulla increases blood flow of the common carotid artery in cats.

abstract：:Intracellular recordings were made in slices of human neocortex removed for surgical treatment of epilepsy. In response to prolonged suprathreshold current injection, regular spiking neurons (67.5% of sample) responded by repetitive firing throughout the stimulus from all membrane potentials. Bursting neurons (32.5% o...
