Abstract

Electrophysiological studies were made on microcultures (300-500 mum in diameter) in which solitary sympathetic principal neurons from newborn rats grew on previously dissociated rat heart cells.Some neurons inhibited,some excited, and others first inhibited and then excited the cardiac myocytes. Application of drugs provided evidence for secretion of acetylcholine by the first group, catecholamines by the second, and both acetylcholine and catecholamines by the third. Solitary neurons which inhibited themyocytes usually excited themselves at nicotinic synapses (autapses).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
