Abstract excerpt

1. Neurons from the major pelvic ganglia (MPG) of adult male rats were enzymatically dissociated and the neurochemical phenotype and Ca2+ current properties examined. 2. Neurons were divided into two subpopulations based on the presence or absence of low threshold T-type Ca2+ channels. The subpop...
