Preliminary data concerning adenosine action upon the evoked potential after electrical stimulation of the vibrissal follicles in the adult rat.
The authors were interested in the effect of adenosine (2 mg/ml in buffered physiological saline) upon the bioelectrical evoked activity in the somatosensory area I(PMBS) after electrical stimulation of the vibrissal follicles. Adenosine application on the evoked potential recording area caused reversible inhibition of the evoked activity after both contralateral and ipsilateral stimulation of the vibrissal follicles. Administration of adenosine on the cortical area symmetrical to the recording zone altered the aspect of EP only after ipsilateral stimulation.
