title: Labelling and recording from dissociated target-specific rat superior cervical ganglion neurons.
abstract: A population of neurons was retrogradely labelled in the superior cervical ganglia (SCG) of the adult rat following the injection of the fluorescent dye Fast blue into the submandibular salivary glands (SMG). The neurons retained the fluorescent label following dissociation and culture. Electrical and chemosensitive properties of the labelled neurons were studied with the whole-cell patch-clamp technique.
