Electrophysiology of neurochemically identified submucosal neurones of the guinea-pig intestine.
A number of electrophysiological studies have shown that neurones in the submucous plexus are endowed with three major types of synaptic potentials in response to nerve stimulation: a fast EPSP, a slow IPSP, and a slow EPSP. Combined electrophysiological and immunohistochemical studies enabled analysis of the types of neurochemically identified neurones which receive each type of synaptic input. This short review briefly summarizes the results obtained from these studies.
