title: Prolongation of responses in decentralization supersensitivity.
abstract: In chronically decentralized nictitating membranes of cats the responses to norepinephrine and to acetylcholine were markedly prolonged. The increased duration was not directly related to the increased amplitude of the contractions. It is likely to be due to a change of the muscle itself.
