Vagal afferent input determines the volume dependence of rat esophageal motility patterns

The volume dependence of balloon distension-evoked esophageal rhythmic motor responses and their neural correlates was investigated in 72 urethane-anesthetized rats. With increasing balloon volume (75-200 mul), distal esophageal rhythmic contractions decreased in rate and became tonic in the range o...

Zusammenfassung:	The volume dependence of balloon distension-evoked esophageal rhythmic motor responses and their neural correlates was investigated in 72 urethane-anesthetized rats. With increasing balloon volume (75-200 mul), distal esophageal rhythmic contractions decreased in rate and became tonic in the range of 150-250 mul.
