Abstract:
The study of direct electrical stimulation of the colon in 10 dogs allowed establishing a significant decrease in motor activity at the level of the stimulated segment, a nonsignificant decrease upstream and a significant increase downstream. The mechanism of intestinal response to stimulation remains hypothetic: there probably is a local release of neuromediators.
