Fig. 8. (A) Effects of JSTX on cardiac acceleration induced by stimulation of the
CA1 nerve at 3 Hz. Vertical lines show extracellularly recorded bursting
impulses of the cardiac ganglion corresponding to heartbeats. The stimulation
produced cardiac acceleration in normal saline (control; top trace). Small
fine potentials during the bars in the records are stimulus artifacts.
Application of JSTX (105 mol l1) blocked
the CA1-induced acceleration at 15 min after the onset of the application
(middle trace). The stimulation of the CA1 nerve at 3 h after washing out JSTX
induced cardiac acceleration (wash; bottom trace). The bar shows a period of
repetitive stimulation. (B) Effects of JSTX on cardiac acceleration induced by
stimulation of the CA2 nerve at 10 Hz. Application of JSTX blocked the CA2
induced acceleration at 30 min after the onset of the application. The
stimulation of the CA2 nerve at 1 h after washing out JSTX induced cardiac
acceleration. Small fine potentials during the bars in the records are
stimulus artifacts.
