Abstract
Using small micro-electrodes (2 - 4 μm), it
was possible to record in the nodose ganglion the
activity of most types of stretch fibres previously
described (including the fast and slow adapting).
Aortic depressor impulses were also recorded clearly
and in addition, some probable venous and deflator
discharges.
These results were only obtained after much
trouble; the method does not seem to oe as useful
for the study of vagal afferent activity as had been
hoped.
