Non-random chemoreceptor activity during superfusion in vitro.

Abstract:

:As a means of probing the chemotransducer, impulse sequences from in vitro, superfused sinus nerve-carotid body preparations were analyzed for departures from randomness. Twelve of 17 spike trains showed interval histograms that did not differ significantly from exponential. Thus these sequences resembled a Poisson (random) process with respect to time-independence of probability of occurrence of an event. However, 5 spike trains departed significantly from the exponential distribution forcing rejection of the Poisson model in these cases. Furthermore, mean interval vs standard deviation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation among intervals. These data suggest that the carotid body impulse generator possesses an intrinsic regularity and that the Poisson model does not accurately describe the in vitro sinus nerve interspike interval sequence.

  • Sensory requirements for the lordosis reflex in female rats.

    abstract::(1) Visual, auditory and olfactory input were not necessary for the performance of the lordosis reflex by female rats. Since taste is not involved in this behavior, somatosensory input must be sufficient for triggering the lordosis reflex.
