Fig. 6From: Thyroxin and calcitonin secretion into thyroid venous blood is regulated by pharyngeal mechanical stimulation in anesthetized ratsAfferent discharges of the SLN following pharyngeal stimulation. a Example of a mass afferent nerve recording. The lower histogram shows nerve activity counted consecutively every 0.1 s. b Example of a multiple unitary afferent nerve fiber recording. Horizontal lines indicate the period of stimulation. The right inset shows superimposed action potentials responding to pharyngeal stimulation after spike sorting. The lower histogram shows pulse count of the sorted nerve activityBack to article page
