Abstract
The afferent nerve activity was recorded from a nerve filament isolated from the peripheral cut end of the gastric branch of the vagus nerve. The gastric perfusion of 4 ml of two different concentrations (0.04% and 0.08%) of CuSO4 solution provoked an increase in afferent activity. The stimulating effect of the 0.08% solution was stronger than that of the 0.04% solution, and lasted for a longer period of time. The observations suggest a possible mechanism by which CuSO4 elicits emesis.Entities:
