Water fibers in the superior laryngeal nerve of the rat.
Water responses elicited by application of water on the laryngeal mucosa were observed in the superior laryngeal nerve fibers in the rat. The response was augmented by K+ ions and was depressed by Na+ ions, while anions (Cl--, F--, SO42--, benzoate) showed no noticeable effect.
