Electrophysiological Recording from Colonic Afferent Nerves in an Ex Vivo Rat Colon
Source: Meng, Y. et al., In Vitro Characterization of the Electrophysiological Properties of Colonic Afferent Fibers in Rats. J. Vis. Exp. (2017) This video demonstrates a method to record the activity of colonic afferent nerves in an ex-vivo rat colon, cannulated at both ends and infused with saline to increase intraluminal pressure. As pressure increases, the nerve signal rises, indicating its stimulation.
