Table 2The percentage of parafascicular neurons with a particular action to a given cholinergic agonist
Agonist | Response | All lPf neurons | Bushy | Diffuse |
% Affected | % Affected | % Affected |
Carbachol | Depolarization | 33%(7/21) | 50%(2/4) | 29%(2/7) |
| Hyperpolarization | 43%(9/21) | 50%(2/4) | 57%(4/7) |
| Biphasic | 5%(1/21) | 0% | 0% |
| No effect | 19%(4/21) | 0% | 14%(1/7) |
DMPP | Depolarization | 97%(29/30) | 100%(4/4) | 95%(19/20) |
| Hyperpolarization | 0% | 0% | 0% |
| Biphasic | 0% | 0% | 0% |
| No effect | 3%(1/30) | 0% | 5%(1/20) |
MCh | Depolarization | 28%(35/122) | 39%(12/31) | 23%(14/61) |
| Hyperpolarization | 52%(63/122) | 52%(16/31) | 61%(37/61) |
| Biphasic | 6%(7/122) | 6%(2/31) | 3%(2/61) |
| No effect | 14%(17/122) | 3%(1/31) | 13%(8/61) |
In general, both bushy and diffuse cell types responded similar to the cholinergic agonists.
