Abstract

1. The muscarinic depolarizing action of ACh on cortical neurones is associated with an increase in membrane resistance (mean Δ V/Δ R = 3·16 mV/MΩ). 2. ACh also promotes repetitive firing by slowing repolarization after spikes. 3. The depolarizing effect has a mean reversal level of −86·7 mV (with mean resting potential −56 mV). 4. It is concluded that as a muscarinic excitatory agent, ACh probably acts by reducing the resting K+ conductance of cortical neurones, and also the delayed K+ current of the action potential. 5. These results are discussed in relation to the possible role of ACh in cortical function.

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.
