Brattleboro rats, homozygous for diabetes insipidus, and Long–Evans rats were anaesthetized with urethane, and antidromically identified neurones were recorded from the supraoptic nucleus. Phasically firing neurones were studied during repeated electrical stimulation of the neural stalk, whereby most supraoptic neurones, but not the recorded neurone, were activated antidromically. Such stimulation consistently modified the discharge pattern of phasic neurones in Long–Evans rats, but was relatively ineffective in Brattleboro rats. These results suggest that the effects of neural stalk stimulation on discharge patterns in Long–Evans rats may be substantially mediated by the evoked release of vasopressin or neurophysin.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
