SEPARATION OF TRANSDUCER AND IMPULSE-GENERATING PROCESSES IN SENSORY RECEPTORS

W R LOEWENSTEIN et al. Science. .

Abstract

New evidence is presented that spike and transducer processes in sensory receptors are independent events; impulse activity in tile crustacean stretch receptor neuron and the mammalian pacinian corpuscle was selectively blocked by a compound (tetrodotoxin) without affecting any of the parameters of the generator potential.
